People are always so mean about Habermas on here and caricature his work. Which is strange because you would expect humans in a public forum to collectively seek the truth using communicative reason

academia is just making mental notes on how you don’t want to behave when you become a professor and then never becoming a professor

For five days, almost no humanitarian aid has gotten into Gaza. Israel's military operation in Rafah has closed both main border crossings.

No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.

Children are starving.

The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in this humanitarian disaster.

Bijna 3/4 van de 60+ gebruikte internet in de periode 2016-2021. Daaruit concluderen dat de oudere generatie digitaal helemaal mee is, is toch een brug te ver. Dat blijkt uit het Digital Ageing-onderzoek van @VUBrussel , @UAntwerpen en @Hogeschool_Gent 👉

Academic work, we believe, is not only doing research, but also sharing those insights and sparking debate. That’s why we’re so happy to have welcomed professor Wim Van Lancker who gave a truly inspiring talk yesterday!

Very glad to have organised this with my great colleagues.

[Benjamin Blanckaert @benjamin_blanck]

Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming @wvlancker for a captivating lecture about his book "Why yellow vests don't ride cargo bikes" (co-authored by @adeline_otto) to the academic staff in our @POLI_VUB @ID_VUB @torgroep departments. Thank you for sharing your insights📚
