Dear Colleagues!
I have a project I would like to talk to you. You may have heard about the international festival called "Pint of Science" ( https://pintofscience.com/ )
The festival happens on the 20-21-22 May 2019 and the concept is to bring the public to know more about science by having talks and activities in different pubs for 3 evenings. It's the first year Switzerland participate and I had put Zurich as a possible welcoming city.
I really believe in the project and It's a great opportunity to build project management and communication skills that would benefit the mittelbau. But for the project to be a reality, I need to build a strong team of motivated people.
To start, we need a City coordinator, a treasurer and a publicist. As Zurich is a German-speaking city we suggest that at least 1/3 of the events should be in German as it is destined for the public.
The director of Pint of Science in Switzerland, Silvia Cardellino (switzerland@pintofscience.com), will help us through all the organisation.
The festival concern all academic field so the whole university can be represented!
So if you are motivated to bring your research field to the public or just enjoy working on exciting events, please contact me or SIlvia Cardellino for more information.
I am looking forward making this project a reality!
Best, Lauriane

Dear Colleagues and Friends
Over the years the Off the Beaten Track field school on Gozo (Malta) has touched on many themes and topics that shed light on culture and change through every-day practices and phenomena (you can consult a full list on our website). For our 2019 sessions, I am delighted to announce the development of a new collaborative research focus on motorcycle ethnographies, situated on the crossroads of, among others, anthropology of technology, mobility studies, geography of transportation systems and design anthropology.
Under the working title 'Anthropology and the Art of Motorcycle Observation' I will build on my personal interests in this subfield to unravel the use, history and meaning of the island's legendary Honda Super Cub motorcycles. I am hoping to find like-minded researchers to join me - from technology anthropologists, over transportation geographers to mechanics and designers.
Whereas until the mid-60's, animal draught vehicles where the norm on Gozo, Malta today is one of the areas with the most cars per capita in Europe. Amidst the many changes evoked by the motorized transportation revolution, the Honda Super Cub motorcycle has been a surprisingly constant presence. These seemingly simple vehicles have witnessed almost 6 decades of changing relations between society and technology. Needless to say they carry a load of myths, emotions and stories with them.
Contact me if you are interested in participating in the summer school and in setting up a three week personal research project, focussing on one or more aspects of this motorcycle as phenomenon. The idea is that each participant will use their own in-field research about this specific object as a common thread throughout our fieldwork training and discussions, and to create a collaborative journal publication or volume post-fieldwork.
Feel free to share this message with others in your network - students, PhD and established researchers alike - who might find this interesting.
Looking forward to hearing from you & possibly meeting you in Gozo,
Cordially
