💫 Ready for some magic? Working Titles#3 is launching today! 🎩

At 7pm, we will celebrate the release of Working Titles – Journal for Practice-Based Research, issue no. 3: SPELL CHECK: Spiritualism, Shamanism, Sorcery & the Reincarnation of the Occult in Dark Times. A year of intense work by the editorial board and authors comes to an end and we are looking forward to sharing the amazing results. The evening will feature a spotlight conversation with one of the contributors, Kristen Nelson—scholar, witch, and descendant of pagan ancestry—followed by an open discussion on the issue’s themes with all present. This is a hybrid, public event.

Join us for a magical evening with some sparkly 🍾 and celebrate with us!
If you cannot be with us in presence, grab some snacks and join online via zoom: https://hu-berlin.zoom-x.de/j/66414612250

This is the location. You enter the library from Steubenstraße, cross the bridge to the right of the printers and then just follow the corridor to the glass door. See you in a bit!

Time flies – today is the last day of this PhD week (for most of you)!

We hope the PhD Welcome Day was informative – the BRS has some great resources that you should definitely check out.

At 12:00, we will continue with the PhD Q&A session with Alex and Be at Marienstr. 14, Room 221. Feel free to bring your questions about study regulations, key qualifications, etc.!
If you are not (or no longer) in Weimar, you are welcome to participate online: https://meeting.uni-weimar.de/b/rooms/ale-onr-yo8-ujw/join
