What a crushing loss. She was so brilliant. As many others are saying here, if you haven't read Persepolis, do it as soon as you are able. Her generous, witty, humanist, nuanced vision is more relevant now than ever. www.france24.com/en/culture/2...

A whine I need to get out before it chokes me: I'm on the job market (aren't we all) in NL where academia is falling apart (isn't it everywhere). Since defending TT positions have disappeared. At first there were a few teaching only jobs, but those are now mostly "junior" lectureships for grads
Our early-career network is organizing a workshop on 16 June! #envhist
There are no research positions or even a sliver of hope for a permanent contract; funding is so competitive it's ridiculous, and even teaching isn't an option anymore when vacancies explicitly state that they consider a PhD over-qualified
It's just so bleak??
