At the third session we finally got started on Texts and Contexts. The students engaged with the political thought of Anna Kéthly (HU) and Milada Horáková (ČSSR). We have a nice interdisciplinary crowd (history, gender studies, sociology, polsci, English) and apparently, quite some enthusiasm! 🗃🗃

Yes, if I reviewed a manuscript in the first round, I will make sure to be available for subsequent ones. No, I am not happy when none of the reviewers' substantial recommendations (two reviews altogehter) are taken on in the new version that is supposed to be a revise and resubmit.

Funny how academia works: nothing for ages, then boom, 2 articles in a week. The 2nd began with @rekakrizmanics.bsky.social email. Not my usual period but those intriguing AAN files kept calling… Of course, Jewish threads are in: I wouldn’t be me otherwise 😉. doi.org/10.1177/0888...

"Ever since I started working...I was always hired on a contract, my superiors...while greatly appreciating my performance on the job...remain unable to hire me permanently...most probably for economic reasons."
