Sammen med Thomas, @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social og @panktroels.bsky.social fra Det Unge Akademi har jeg skrevet et debatindlæg i @politiken.dk om regeringens “åndelige oprustning” og de samtidige nedskæringer i den kulturelle infrastruktur.

Lektorer og adjunkt: Der er lang vej til åndelig oprustning, når regeringen undergraver landets kulturelle infrastruktur

Encouraged by my colleagues, who I drafted to help me prep and who watched me work on the application and interview all those months, I've written a paper about my preparations: pure.au.dk/ws/portalfil...
