Knowledge, Money, Power: The precarious situation of the humantities and why You should care about it

The humanities primarily produce knowledge (aka neoliberally without value) and encourage critical thinking (aka dangerous for authoritarian regimes). Their financial and political status is therefore in even more danger than before - at the universities and in governmental committees. Join us if you

• are associated with the humanities and want to exchange (concrete) problems and (maybe) solutions.
• want to know/discuss why this is so crucial for science and society in general.
• are just curious.

Orga: Kristin is/was a literary and cultural studies scholar at several universities in Germany and Austria. Sonja is a member of the research committee of the German Bundestag/parliament.
