#IchBinHanna and Its Impact

Working conditions of the academic mid-level staff have been at the centre of intense debate for years. Few voices have shaped this conversation as strongly as Amrei Bahr, co-initiator of the #IchBinHanna campaign. Amrei Bahr will address the structural challenges of mid-level academic positions, offer a reflection on the origins, dynamics and public impact of #IchBinHanna, and discuss the sustainability of the campaign. She will also highlight where reputation systems and publication pressures continue to hinder change and perpetuate blind spots. The talk will be followed by an open, moderated discussion in English and German, where you are invited to share your questions and experiences. Join us for a critical, open and interdisciplinary discussion about the future of academic work and the realities of mid-level staff.
