Dr Michael Hunklinger is giving the keynote address at @SPDqueer conference #ZusammenVielfaltVerteidigen #DefendingDiversityTogether on “Democracy under pressure – Whz queer politics is social politics.” I’m not happy with English translation. Does anyone have a snappier version?

Day 2 of #ICLHE symposium at #FHAW Zürich in #Winterthur Patrick Studer called it composium - bigger than a symposium, but smaller than a conference. @DallyDragon (my significant other) came up with symference (flows better). Next year‘s conference will be in Göteborg, Sweden 🇸🇪
