Das dt. Wissenschaftssystem setzt auf künstliche Verknappung von Wertschätzung: Leute kleinhalten. Ihnen suggerieren, nichts zu können. Nahelegen, sie müssten dankbar sein, sogar für miese Bedingungen. So lassen wir uns alles Mögliche gefallen. Deshalb: Lobt einander, was das Zeug hält! #IchBinHanna

Also, today is international #transdayofvisibility! Check out your local event calendar, buy a book to educate yourself or support and amplify the accomplishments of trans people and their knowledge.

I am very honored to have been awarded the faculty prize for gender aware research by Kiel University for my PhD on trauma and diaspora after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Thanks a lot to everybody who has been there both physically and mentally - you made this day very special to me.
