Welcome to the critical introductory weeks

Starting out with your studies and curious what to expect? The semester ist just beginning and with that comes a lot of stress and formalities. Surely the university can seem like a world of its own. It, however, isn't separate from society, but rather another place of struggle within. Science and research are increasingly influenced by private capital and neoliberal politics. In the face of multiple crises, that arise from these policies and ultimately capitalism, we don't want to uphold the status quo, but rather search for solutions to them. To be able to overcome war, inflation, social inequality and the climate crisis we have to critically look at our economic system, society and sciences.
