Happy faces, kissed by the spring sun, after a successful judicial study visit at the MPI for Social Anthropology! Big thank you to all participating judges who let themselves be inspired by the beauty of anthropology and embraced the challenge of rethinking asylum decision through that lens!

I’m honestly surprised to see major international law conferences being held in the US are still advertising the events as if nothing is happening. At this point, it is clear that bringing in those working in int law/human rights, esp those who aren’t citizens, is a serious risk.
