UCL axes ‘utopian’ Institute of Advanced Studies
Interdisciplinary research hub focused on arts and humanities will shut in July amid financial sustainability issues
'A statement on 23 February explained the Bloomsbury-based research institute will be “disbanded” at the end of July 2026 because it “in its current form is not sustainable”.'
Goodbye utopia, hello myopia?

Ich habe schon in den Druckfahnen lesen können, da mit beteiligt, und bin insofern parteiisch. Ich hoffe, ich darf das Buch dennoch empfehlen: Spannende Quellen und anregende Interpretationen aus dem breiten Spektrum der #Gewaltgeschichte. Noch dazu Open Access. Großer Dank an alle Beteiligten!

Opinion: Are ICE agents modern-day Nazi brownshirts?
Even if the comparison shows more differences than similarities, some parallels should not be dismissed
The Canadian newspaper "The Globe and Mail" asked me whether the actions being taken by #ICE in the United States today can be compared to those of Nazi #Brownshirts in the early 1930s. Here is my op-ed piece: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I believe this development is not only driven by the reasons discussed below but is also a consequence of the obsession that everything schools do must be measured, assessed and compared. Learning foreign languages is important in many ways, not only in terms of future employability and performance.

This event was tremendously interesting. A mix of art meets Aufklärungsarbeit with cherished colleagues @danielsiemens.bsky.social and Thomas Weber among others bringing their research to bear on the danger of the AfD for Germany.

Die Eigentumsfrage bei der #Weltbühne war seit den 1930er Jahren immer kompliziert. Kurt R. Grossmann merkte 1951 im New Yorker "Aufbau" Folgendes an. Mehr zu den Eigentumsverhältnissen bei den "Weltbühnen" zwischen den 1930er und 1990er Jahren gibt es hier: www.aufbau-verlage.de/aufbau/hinte...

The new book by @kathiprager.bsky.social 'A Game as Mindless as Love: The Life of Satirist Karl Kraus' is magnificent, especially for former Berliners like me who have always struggled to understand the coexistence of reactionary and progressive elements in Vienna around 1900. 1/2

The net result is the worst of both worlds. Universities invoke the rhetoric of business discipline, but they lack the governance structures that give that discipline bite. They operate without the checks that private ownership provides, yet subject staff and students to the cost-cutting and efficiency drives that profit-maximising firms pursue. The result is waste at the top and insecurity at the bottom.
this is a very sharp piece on why it makes no sense to run universities as if they are businesses. They're not businesses.
