Merci, Loïc. So important to remember the victims and those affected by these heinous attacks. I‘m impressed by the French courts that enabled affected individuals to be heard, and heartened by the people of Paris, who defy hatred, violence and racism by celebrating community and life - en terrasse!

That’s excellent news! See our AGS/W+IGS joint statement on the W+IGS (formerly Women in German Studies) website: womeningermanstudies.wordpress.com/2025/04/08/w...

We fully support the stance taken by organisations such as the British Association for American Studies in refusing to remove EDI criteria, and reaffirm that our organisations will continue to be open to research in all areas of German studies. (3/4) #InterdisciplinaryResearch #AcademicFreedom

As an organisation founded on principles of diversity and inclusion, we condemn attacks on "wokeness" in scholarship and education. Teaching and research inspired by feminist, queer and antiracist thought and pedagogies have challenged and enriched our work and society. #EDI #InclusionMatters (2/4)

Bonne chance! 🍀

Congratulations to Prof Anne Fuchs for this wonderful and so well deserved honour! Her contributions to the Humanities in general and German Studies in particular have been consistently outstanding. Scholars of her calibre and generosity make a real difference!
