Teacher of the Year 2020: Igor Martins
In 2016 I was entrusted with the noble task of teaching a small group of bachelor students. It was a single lecture on the contemporary economic history of Latin America. Before that, I have never entered a classroom as a teacher. After the lecture, I was hooked. I loved the experience! I started to use…

Not another C*****virus article?!
“Oh no, not another Corona based article” you might think, but worry not! This is just a reflection about what I, and probably many others, have learnt during these times of social distancing. 1. I love to bake, but I’m honestly not very good at it. Endless sourdough attempts, a kitchen covered in flour and…
A Quarantine Daydream about Studio 54
We all remember and long for the days of pre-social distancing due to covid-19. The days where we could go to an actual class instead of zoom, stand carefree with our friends in a packed queue outside of Grönt o’ Gott and lastly, attend our favourite nation in the evening in trust that we would…
Yes Ve-gan?

I don’t know if it’s the consequence of all the David Attenborough documentaries I watched as a kid or what my issue is but, recently I’ve had to find some coping mechanisms to combat my klimatångest. Therefore, over the past years I’ve…

As this was not enough, articles with the headline of “The perfect Valentine’s gift…

A writer does not necessarily express her brilliance by how many complicated words she can put into her work, but rather, how much she can say in as few words as possible. Beauty lies in the obvious, beauty lies…
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
We have felt November on our skin for some time now, which means that December is right around the corner. Once we’ve had our fill of pumpkin spice, apple pie, spooky halloween times, and the leaves begin to fall, we’re constantly encouraged to get into the Spirit of the Season; Christmas. Can you really believe…
Dare to be vulnerable
“Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.” – Anette Messager. I have no idea who Anette Messager is, but that was the quote written on a t-shirt that I bought in South Korea. Don’t get me wrong, I do love sounding like a pretentious prick,…
