Was extremely happy to attend a panel discussion about the Vietnamese diaspora at the Goethe Institute in Prague yesterday! Lots of discussion about central Europe, VN migration to the Eastern bloc (migrant workers in particular), and their invisibility as the so-called "model minority"

We were talking about life in Leipzig and moving back to Ireland just the other day. Then AfD wins elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Ireland proposes to restrict access to citizenship "to be more in line with other European Union member states".

“We learn by making analogies,” [Marianne] Hirsch said. “Now the university is saying that’s off-limits. How can you have a university course where ideas are not up for discussion or interpretation?” Hirsch, daughter of two Holocaust survivors, is now thinking of leaving the classroom altogether.

The European Commission has proposed setting up more migration centres, even outside of the EU, to detain and deport migrants. What that does: create spaces where we don't have to see, think about - and therefore contest - how these people are treated. ENG: www.reuters.com/world/europe...

'We must not let advanced linguistic and cultural skills slip away out of a misinformed sense that technology will solve all our problems or that colonialism’s legacy will always fatally undermine efforts to promote better transnational understanding'

Modern languages departments are neither colonial nor obsolete
Advanced linguistic and cultural skills remain essential for deep insight into how people see themselves in the world, say five modern languages academics
