Being part of the DFG network was a wonderful and enriching experience. I learnt at lot from our workshops and from reading my colleagues chapters. We also had a lot of fun. Quoting @sebboo.bsky.social here: this is not the end. 💚

I'm excited that our third handbook on queer contemporary histories in German-speaking Europe has been published! It looks at activism and social movements. Together with @andreasbrunner.bsky.social I had the pleasure to write a chapter on lesbian/gay/queer movements in Austria.

Fashion comes first. You don't wanna ruin your outfit with a coat in the wrong color/style. Freezing is so much better

This Befana saw it and KNEW it was for you.

Thanks, Mikael!! Can't wait for our next visit to Viola Park. Forza Viola! 💜

Very grateful to the @eui-eu.bsky.social and the Research Communications team for giving me the opportunity to talk about my research on feminist and and disability rights movements.

Thanks so much, Beckie, the same goes for your research. It's so incredibly interesting, just started to read your article on Gemma while sitting on the train. I also worked on lesbian women with disabilities (in Germany). I really hope we can have a chat sometime, so much to talk about 😉

I talked about transnational women’s networks at the end of the 19th century, focusing on the strategies and intimate practices activists used to create a sense of belonging across different boundaries. I learned a lot from the thoughtful questions and engaging discussion that followed!

Two days well spent! Thank you to @mboluferp.bsky.social, Mónica Burguera and Carlotta Sorba for putting together such a wonderful program. It was a pleasure to explore the history of emotions through the lens of letters and see so many common threads in the participants’ projects.

Vielen Dank für diesen wunderbaren Preis! Dass der Preis den Namen Käthe Leichter trägt, macht mich als Historikerin und Feministin besonders stolz.

I am excited to share this call for papers for a special issue on Conceptualizing Disability in History, which I’m co-editing with Monika Baar for the Austrian Journal of Historical Studies.

Please share among your networks, we are very much looking forward to your contributions!

Also mit Ohr bis Knöchel war ich schon gut dabei. Aber Bodykuss ist offenbar alles, was überbleibt. Der Nicht-Hand/nicht-Wange/nicht-intim-Kuss etc.

Ich frag mich jetzt ob mir diese Widersprüchlichkeit schon als Teenie aufgefallen wär oder ob das die kulturwissenschaftliche Ausbildung ist…

Ich lieb‘s wie der Bodykuss einfach mal eine Kategorie ist. Von Ohr bis Knöchel - es ist und bleibt ein Bodykuss.

Same!! Ich hatte nr 8. Feeling like a dinosaur now.

I'm just about to finish Who's afraid of gender? It was obviously written before Trump was elected and a lot of terrible things hadn't happened yet, so it also makes me kind of sad sometimes. But it's still a call to action, and as sharp as ever.

Saved this for styling goals but well (at least he wears glasses)

Oh wow, I need this!!

I loved how you emphasised the importance of history in bringing about change today. 'There can be healing in learning that this is not a new fight'. Really powerful!

Finally got around to listening to this episode! I really enjoyed it. Especially liked it when you talked about how queer/trans/disabled communities often feel like they have to reinvent the wheel because it’s so common that the histories of struggles, strategies and resistance have been forgotten.

This project is fantastic. Reading your interview with Joan Scott (again) and gaining so much from it. Thank you!

Thank you!! I'd completely forgotten that someone had recommended Are You My Mother? to me. I think I'll read that next. And I read Dykes to Watch Out For a long time ago, it was a must-read and kind of a rite of passage when joining my first queer group in Vienna 😀

Can’t wait to read this! Fun Home blew my mind. Never felt this with a graphic novel before. I think I’ll read it again while waiting for Spent.

I was about to say what they would think …

Can’t wait to read (your review and the book)!

That’s so great, thank you for the link!

Haha, go Mikael! (Same here.)

Really sad I missed this.

What a great day, full of inspiring conversations about positionality, agency, and intimacy in oral history. I learnt a lot from the keynote speakers and the researchers' projects. Thank you so much to @zsofia-v.bsky.social and @georgiakat.bsky.social for organising it.

Love the cover!!

I’ve been through that as well. There is a live version in which Dolly Parton sings “who needs Sheena Easton”, getting back at Kenny for having done a duet with her on We’ve got tonight.
