Our book now has a website! As it was getting hard to keep track of materials around "Creolizing the Modern" @cornellupress.bsky.social, we put them all in one place. Many thanks to Louise Link @uni-freiburg.de! We hope the overview is helpful & a possible teaching resource. creolizingthemodern.com

It's been inspiring to engage with Anca Parvulescu's & @manuelaboatca.bsky.social's book 'Creolising the Modern': rather than doing a traditional review, I decided to extract the lessons the book offers to (still quite West-centric) scholarship on race & racism: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Oh my God, this is terrible! I am
so sorry! There are so many prominent academics right now about whose sexual abuse and worse many people know. Some of them are under investigation. And still they publish, teach, advise students, and walk free 🤬 It makes me SO mad!! Solidarity 🤲🏼

A new review symposium of our "Creolizing the Modern. Transylvania across Empires" in International Sociology @isa-sociology.org is online on the last day of our publisher's winter sale! If that isn't a sign that you should buy the book! 😇 tinyurl.com/2s4zf57v

Thrilled that I'll be spending February and March at the @iwm.at in Vienna working on part II of Creolizing the Modern, this time focused on the political economy and literary discourses on racialized enslavement in interimperial Moldavias!

This is for my Ukrainian friends who might be interested in this reading group. Very many thanks, dear Oksana, I hope you have a good discussion and will make some of the insights known in some form afterwards.

Kontrollen an deutschen Grenzen? Das verletzt die #Freizügigkeit im Schengenraum! Deswegen haben wir jetzt mit drei Betroffenen und dem @ecchr.bsky.social, dem @enareurope.bsky.social und Equal Rights Beyond Borders vor zwei deutschen Verwaltungsgerichten geklagt. freiheitsrechte.org/grenzkontrol...
Laura Kuttler, Juristin bei der GFF, sagt: "Grenzkontrollen hebeln das EU-Grundrecht der Reisefreiheit aus! Menschen verzichten aus Angst vor der Polizei auf das Überqueren von Grenzen. Wir wollen einen Stopp der rechtswidrigen Praxis an allen deutschen Landesgrenzen erreichen."

So, the big news is that Bolsonaro has been arrested, but in German-Brazilian relations, the other news will soon be that Der Spiegel follows in Merz‘ steps in being so ignorant about Brazil that they wrote Lula has been arrested. Screenshot for posterity, hope the online text is corrected soon!!! 😎

Klingt bekannt. Bin 2012 für eine W2 auf Zeit nach Berlin gezogen und gleich in die Nähe des BER, dessen Eröffnung zum 2. Mal verschoben wurde. Als die 5 Jahre abgelaufen waren, hatte ich zum Glück einen anderen Job, der BER war aber immer noch nicht fertig. Dafür 2020, als niemand fliegen konnte 😎
