Funklust, the radio of @fau.de, invited me to a deep talk about my research, social roles, arts, activism, and how we can do research in and with publics 💜 The interview is part of the series f*Wort, which discusses feminism from different angles. Listen to it here: www.funklust.de/2026/06/roll...

Today is #DiversityDay at @fau.de! The bureau for gender and diversity organized a symposium with panel discussions, keynotes and networking opportunities. I'm excited to see so many people working hard on making academia a more diverse and inclusive space - a future of academia I want to be part of

I'm at the #DHd2026 🎉 And the first day is already over! At the workshop "Beyond m/w/d" I presented my approach to multi-layered, community-based and time-sensitive gender annotation for my corpus of German published slam poetry

It was a pleasure to contribute to an episode of SonicLit by @katherinemcleod.bsky.social and Jason Camlot, which aired in Montreal last Dec, about the conference "Poetry Off the Page Around the Globe" by @poetryoffthepage.bsky.social where they interviewed some of the poet-researchers attending ✨

SLAM25, the international German-speaking poetry slam championship, took place two weeks ago! I was happy to toast with Denise Bretz from Lektora to celebrate their successful data donation for the creation of a poetry slam corpus of over 3,800 poetry slam texts for my master's thesis last summer 🎉

I really enjoyed Jack Halberstam's lecture on anarchitecture & its relation to trans* bodies at @fau.de today! Material & social cutting of bodies as part of trans* experiences & the use of anarchitectural language to form imaginaries, deeply resonated with me. Can't wait for tomorrow's masterclass!

Shantanu Anand's keynote about spoken word poetry in India at #PoPAG @poetryoffthepage.bsky.social was poetry itself! What a delight to learn about the vibrant slam scene in India. German slam could learn a thing or two about the participatory and activist slam culture shaped by people like him

I'm happy that I could share my passion for poetry slam & the potential for scientific exploration in DH, and introduce my corpus of German poetry slam texts at today's presentation! The lively discussion and the exciting Ideas for further use cases will be a massive enrichment for further studies!
