I’m so angry I wrote an article: In Germany, fascist majorities are a real possibility again, but the centrist merger of a revived Red Scare with open racism shows that mainstream media & politics are unable or unwilling to comprehend the seriousness of the crisis tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/germ...

Warning from Germany: It’s Socialism or Barbarism
Fascism is at the door, and liberals are ushering it in. Only the left offers hope.

Happy that the special issue “Lab, Field, and Companion Species” came out in Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte! We are trying to bridge the gap between human-animal and human-plant studies with source-based historical research. All open access

In Manaus for fieldwork and just got news my article on Samoa and Pacific history is out in the Journal of Global History! I use a multispecies, more‑than‑human lens on capitalism and colonialism, showing how Samoan people allied with the rhinoceros beetle. OA Link below 👇👇🪲

„Die TU erweckt den Eindruck, als verstoße ein Teil des Kongresses gegen ein angebliches Neutralitätsgebot. […] Es gibt keine Neutralitätspflicht. Es gilt im Gegenteil die Pflicht, vor den Gefahren für die Demokratie zu warnen, gerade an Schulen und Hochschulen.“ This. #LauteWissenschaft

Am Samstag halte ich an der TU Berlin einen Vortrag zum Faschismus von Björn Höcke. Oder auch nicht. Ein Anwalt hat der TU gedroht. Diese überlegt, während des SDS Kongresses einige Vorträge so nicht zuzulassen. Vor allem die nicht, die sich mit Faschismus befassen, unter anderem auch meinen Vortrag
Faschisten müssen als Faschisten benannt werden

Hochschulen haben den Auftrag, wissenschaftliche Forschung zu betreiben und zu ermöglichen.
Auch dann, wenn dies wissenschaftsfeindlichen Parteien und ihren Anwälten nicht passt.

Zur wissenschaftlichen Forschung zählt die Soziologie und eben auch verschiedenen Ansätze der Faschismusforschung.

Es liegt im ureigensten Interesse der Wissenschaftsfreiheit der Hochschulen, Faschismusforschung nicht zu beschneiden, denn diese Wissenschaftsfeiheit wäre eines der ersten Opfer von Faschisierungsprozessen.

Es kann nicht sein, dass die TU Berlin Vorträge zur faschistischen Gefahr und unter anderem auch einen Vortrag von mir zum Faschismus von Björn Höcke unterbindet, weil ein Anwalt Druck gemacht hat.
