#Introduction #FediHire

Hi everyone! 👋 Despite being a longtime Fediverse lurker (Mastodon.uno + a self-hosted blog), this is the first time I join a generalist English-speaking instance. After earning my PhD in #GlobalStudies (UBC) and working in journalism, I’m now exploring tech/policy roles, especially in #digitalrights, #opensource, and #IT. Moving back to #Europe and keen to collaborate!

When I am off-duty, I’m a #Linux die-hard and a sucker for Turkish/Anatolian psychedelic rock 🙂

Ce soir au cinéma Le Spoutnik : projection de “L’Apocalypse a déjà eu lieu”, suivie d’un débat.
Merci au Global Studies Institute – Université de Genève pour l’invitation.
Une belle occasion de penser autrement l'espace russe.

African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.

Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.
