What we value as academics vs how academic work is evaluated by various stakeholders in politics/media/outside of HigherEd has been a clear undercurrent in #IchBinHanna .

One problem I've talked about before is the criterion of 'innovation'.

Some more thoughts: THREAD 🧵1/25 We see this in the commentary of yesterday's Tagesthemen. A fundamental disregard for academic work is on display: 'young scholars need to deal with reality’, ‘there isn't enough space for everyone to get permanent jobs’, ‘the system is as it should be’ etc. #IchBinHanna 2/25
