I was very sorry to read today that Prof Helen Leach has died. She was a stalwart of the Otago anthropology programme and did really interesting work on the history of food, from ancient to modern times. One of her great projects was to use community cookbooks to trace the evolution of recipes - such fascinating material!

I had the privilege of meeting Helen a few times when I worked at the Hocken, and interviewed her for the history of the university project. She was an intelligent and interesting person and so passionate about her subject.

RIP Helen.

♀️March 8 is International Women's Day. With our interview series “Women @ FIZ”, we want to make the perspectives and careers of women at our institute visible.

First we spoke with lawyer Lea Sophie Singson, who works as a research assistant at FIZ Karlsruhe. She speaks about gender in academia, why it matters that her boss is a woman and how a unique female perspective is necessary in the working world.

I am reading Women Leaders in Higher Education: Shattering the Myths (Fitzgerald, 2014) which is excellent so far. I very nearly stood up on a chair in my living room and cheered when I read this quote from Composing a Life by Mary Bateson (which is now also on my reading list...)

Life- or my life anyway- is not a straight line from A to B.

More like A to Q to F to M to ∞
