@marcusmeer.bsky.socialJust a quick personal update, as it is official now: During the winter term I will cover the professorship for Medieval History @tudresden.bsky.social. Looking forward to meet new colleagues and students! If you have any last minute advice how to do lectures properly, do let me know! 😊😉
