Sicherlich nicht ausschließlich, aber womöglich unter anderem auch das 🙂

We will present preliminary findings from our project on cuts in language-related programmes in Europe next week in the SLE Online Autumn Lecture on
Thursday 27 November, 5pm CET.
Everyone is welcome to join without registration. Un grand merci to the colleagues from SLE für die Einladung!
Online Autumn lecture This year’s Autumn lecture will take place on Thursday 27 November at 5 pm CET. As announced in July, it will be a joint lecture by Leena Kolehmainen (University of Helsinki), Philipp Krämer (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Ulrike Vogl (Universiteit Gent). Please find their abstract below. Closing doors: Universities restructuring their language training programs Across Europe, universities have been scaling back or closing their language programmes. This trend has far-reaching consequences for students, researchers, societies and international collaboration. In our presentation, we will introduce our ongoing research project, which aims to map these developments, understand where and why they are happening and assess their impact on diversity in language education. In our talk, we will report the preliminary findings of our questionnaire survey. Through this survey, we gathered insights from staff at numerous European higher education institutions. Their responses provide valuable information about the reasons behind closures, the strategies universities use to cope with them, and their effect on language learning, teaching, and research.

I otherwise quite dislike the whole "internationalisation at home" enthusiasm because
-if everyone expects the world to come to them (because budget), who's going to actually visit?
-the term is deeply dishonest in the context of border policies aimed at de-internationalising our homes at all cost.

Wie soll man da gegen langjährige Missstände aufstehen, wenn man schon nach anderthalb Stunden Vortag nicht auf die Füße kommt?

"Wir machen im Rekordtempo geisteswissenschaftliche Studiengänge dicht, dafür beeindrucken wir unsere Gäste mit Wachteleiern" vielleicht trotzdem nicht unbedingt eine wissenschaftspolitische Linie mit Vorbildcharakter.
Bröckelnde Bauten und lauwarme Gemüsebrühe sind wenigstens ehrlich und kohärent.
