Interne Dokumente zeigen jedoch: Auch sie sollte von den rund 9 Millionen Euro für Mansours Projekt profitieren. 1/x

2nd (3rd, 4th...) generation migrants are a policy fantasy. You either migrate across space - or you don't, in which case you are not a migrant.

Genauso wie man den deutschen (deutschsprachigen) Sonderweg der Habilitation endlich aufgeben sollte, sollte man die Ausbeutung der Privatdozent*innen durch unentgeltliche Titellehre sein lassen. Sie ist ein Instrument der sozialen Auslese.

Am 11. Juli 1995 begann der Völkermord von Srebrenica. 30 Jahre später fragt Ger Duijzings auf z|o, welche Lehren sich daraus ziehen lassen und verweist auf die Gewalt im Gazastreifen.

ICMP's Podrinje Identification Project (PIP) was formed to deal with the identification primarily of victims of 1995 Srebrenica massacre. PIP includes a facility for storing, processing, and handling exhumed remains. Much of the remains are only fragments or commingled body fragments since they were recovered from secondary mass graves.
