People who claim we need to get back to the classics, often don’t know what’s in the classics…
From an email to one of our faculty members....

Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Ich hab ein Problem mit dem Design der "Integrationsumfrage.

Es werden ausschließlich Staatsbürgerinnen befragt, und die Fragen sind fast ausschließlich aus der Perspektive der Mehrheitsgesellschaft gestellt.

Randomly looked into the history of tug of war today. Was reminded that speech bubbles already existed in ancient Egypt.

In terms of archival records and sources on the history of #sportscience, the institute at @unimarburg.bsky.social is a very fortunate case. So, it was a pleasure co-editing this issue:

Happy to share some thoughts on #plato, the body and #physicaleducation in this year‘s issue of Nikephoros.

(Learned so much from this journal and still can hardly believe that some of my own reseach has now been published in it…)

Reception is also linked to narratives of self-positioning. Now carefully read the „policy“ (sec. 2a) and the definition of so-called „classical architecture“ (sec. 3c)…

www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
President Trump has signed an executive order that requires federal buildings in Washington to maintain a classical style of Greco-Roman architecture associated with the marble columns and austere hallways of the Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol.
Trump Signs Executive Order to Make ‘Federal Architecture Beautiful Again’
The order, which affects buildings like federal courthouses and agency headquarters, encourages classical styles rather than modernist aesthetics.

Eine Wut-Rede von Prof. Andreas Wirsching im aktuellen Heft von Forschung & Lehre - sehr lesenswert (aber auch zum verzweifeln)

„Die „Befreiung" von universitären Verpflichtungen in Lehre und Verwaltung dient dem Einkauf von Zeit für die „eigentliche" Arbeit der Professorinnen und Professoren“

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.
