At the third session we finally got started on Texts and Contexts. The students engaged with the political thought of Anna Kéthly (HU) and Milada Horáková (ČSSR). We have a nice interdisciplinary crowd (history, gender studies, sociology, polsci, English) and apparently, quite some enthusiasm! 🗃🗃

Yes, if I reviewed a manuscript in the first round, I will make sure to be available for subsequent ones. No, I am not happy when none of the reviewers' substantial recommendations (two reviews altogehter) are taken on in the new version that is supposed to be a revise and resubmit.
