I created a starter pack for social network analysis, since this one was still missing.
LMK if you want to be added! (I'll like the comment after adding you.)
Also, check out the other starter packs for network science and complexity (so this is more social science).

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Great, thanks! I didn't know this.
Will write Kevin. And try to convince him to join us here.

I'll give an undergrad seminar in the summer about "Love, intimate relations, and sexuality" (at Leipzig University). Looking for recommendations and suggestions on what to include, in particular recent stuff and trends (last 20 years or so). Pleeeeaaaaasssse!

Die geplante Abschiebeoffensive der CSU wäre ein schwerer Fehler mit enormen wirtschaftlichen Kosten für Deutschland und wäre zudem ein Bruch mit dem deutschen Asylrecht.

Wenn Russland und die USA wieder Großraumpolitik betreiben, dann unterm Strich aber ziemlich erfolglos. Russland hat in den letzten Jahren praktisch nur an Einfluss verloren (Finnland und Schweden in der NATO, Armenien geht auf Distanz, abgebrochene Beziehungen zur EU usw). Die USA haben 1/2

Yep, but it's also a particular problem with certain presses. They come to you with ideas for a project, and therefore you decide to do it with them rather than go through the lengthy vetting process of elite university presses. It's important to say no here. If you want stuff to be read ...

Ich kann gerade wirklich gut verstehen, wenn man die Weltlage gerade überfordernd findet, wenn sich enorm viel Frust breit macht. Fühls doll. Aber seit mehreren Tagen beobachte ich in meinen Kommentaren wirklich nur noch zynische, gallige Aussagen.

Alle Mittelbau Stellen werden nicht verlängert. Ausnahmen gibt es nur, wenn die Lehrbarkeit gefährdet ist..und de Uni so: "dafür gibt es Lehraufträge"
