“The only path to a viable future is through a disarmament in our relations not only with one another but also with the rest of the living planet,” writes the historian Sunil Amrith. “The alternative unfolds before us, even if we choose to avert our eyes.”

In pursuit of empire and domination, of territorial conquest or racial and religious supremacy, wars stand as a stubborn driver of planetary harm.

Feels like the end of an era. We have been immensely privileged to have had our research group ‘Ageing in a Time of Mobility’ hosted at the @mpimmg.bsky.social for the past seven years. We will miss this intellectually stimulating and supportive atmosphere and our wonderful colleagues dearly! Danke!
It's time to say good-bye & Aufwiedersehen to
@agemig_MPI. For over 5 years, we have hosted this wonderful group of scholars that investigated the interconnections between two key phenomena in the twenty-first century: ageing populations & global migration sor.bz/tlA4Z. We will miss you!
