My thoughts on Hans Fallada have changed so much thanks to co-supervising an MPhil thesis that approached his works through the methodological lens of criminology (about which I also learnt a lot!) So touched to have been given a print of e. o. plauen‘s caricature of Fallada to remember the project!

Normally I’m in full-on 🇸🇪 Swedish mode on the 13th December, to celebrate #SantaLucia, the bringer of light in the midwinter dark 🕯️. This year I’m at a conference in 🇫🇷 France, but Amiens cathedral has provided its own special light on this cold night!

A visit to Cambridge for a workshop capped by an unplanned detour on my way home through #GlennLigon’s re-staging & deconstruction of the #FitzwilliamMuseum, “All Over The Place”. What a remarkable intervention by artist & curatorial team!

The lovely students on my unit “Visibility Matters: Identity, Diversity and Power in the Cultural Marketplace” have been insistent that I *have to* go and see #Wicked as it is “my unit… WITH SHOW TUNES!” So… I’m off to do my homework!

The photos from the “Making the Case for #German” Leadership Symposium clearly reveal one thing: we are already undertaking coordinated action at the sartorial level!

Making the case for #German at the DAAD & Goethe Institut Leadership Symposium in London the other week, along with many wonderful colleagues. Pictured: a Franco-German alliance in full swing with Charles Forsdick! @goetheinstitut.bsky.social @daadworldwide.bsky.social #TransnationalModernLanguages

Happily reminded by this of kinder (Twitter) days of yore when @pdobryden.bsky.social & @ervinmalakaj.bsky.social marvellously discovered the remarkable similarity between the Angel of History and the (very cute!) red panda…
