this book

A quote on universities in Germany, from a 1950 book.

I don't know about the "modernness" of universities in Frankfurt and Hamburg, but the rest of it...

Madness!

Youth Protest in Serbia And some thoughts for America

I was pleasantly surprised to read in this text that @timothysnyder.bsky.social traveled to Serbia in July, where he followed the student-led protests. I look forward to the longer chronicle.

Also - today marks 10 months since the student blockades started. The fight goes on. ✊

It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

I just had a fascinating conversation with Suzana Sudar for Radar magazine, #Serbia. We delved deep into how societies choose to remember—or forget—their past, drawing from Making Monuments from Mass Graves, published by @amsterdamupress.bsky.social.

today in how it started how it's going

No words.

Btw, these are all young people, students and high schoolers.

Some are minors, some reportedly under 14. Some had nothing to do with protests, but were picked up randomly in the streets last night.

All that so that they could be filmed like this as an "example" to intimidate the public.

As per usual, the EU officials are "concerned."

Yes, this happened in Novi Sad last night, but clashes between protesters and regime-organized thugs+police happened last night in many other places too.

Would Vučić rather drag the whole country into a civil war than call general elections that he would likely lose? I have no doubts about that.

Supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party threw flares and firecrackers at anti-government protesters in Novi Sad, prompting police to intervene to end the standoff, a major escalation of nine-month-long protests in Serbia.

AHAHAHHAHA

You may laugh, like I have, but "Digitale Schiene Deutschland" is a thing.

Also, Deutsche Bahn has its very own <checks notes> “Data Factory”

How do you people studying the latest technologies, in whatever field, keep up with... anything?!

Morning beauties!

Mass rape, forced pregnancy and sexual torture in Tigray amount to crimes against humanity – report Research documents ‘horrific and extreme’ attacks by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces and warns that impunity has meant such atrocities are expanding to new regions

Content warning: Extreme violence, sexual violence

This is an awful account of extreme forms of sexual violence that both Ethiopian and Eritrean forces committed in Tigray.

I'll send my AI recruiter your way right away! Your CV better be up to date and machine-friendly!

No problem! We use AI for EVERYTHING here. You can speak Klingon only and still land a top job at MY VERY OWN growing business! Pardon, university.

I tell you, something is fishy here and I would not trust the State of Berlin on its word.

This morning I woke up and discovered I own a university.

Job, anyone?

Congrats @jlmittelmeier.bsky.social @selomer42.bsky.social er42.bsky.social @cmathies.bsky.social and the rest of the team, the inaugural issue looks really good!

Maybe you think that there are too many journals and too many articles published, and I would say to that, yes, you are right.

But then, something like the Journal of Global Higher Education appears, and you go, yep, this totally makes sense.
