@elisabmpiller @NowKatarzyna @PeterGatrell @Hist_HumbertLau There are also a number of edited volumes and special issues which Philipp Strobl has been involved with as an editor:

Absolutely devastated by the news of @AgnesFlues’ sudden passing. The absolute best of @ucu. Kind, practical, and committed to what she believed in. Our @UoNUCU community has lost one of its best. Sending so much love to the people who knew her well. 🩷
