📢 How does war reshape knowledge production?

On Feb 26, Nadiya Kiss delivered a powerful lecture on the paradoxes of academic (un)productivity in wartime, highlighting epistemic injustice, academic displacement, and resilience.

On February 12, Bernhard Kleeberg, Tania Arcimovich, and Nadiya Kiss gathered at Kleine Synagoge, Erfurt, for the History of Science Study Day. They explored the intersections knowledge production and the challenges scholars face today.

Best way to celebrate History of Science Study Day!
