What we are seeing in South Korea right now is not just a moving example of democracy but also an important reminder of how strong historical education can empower people to not repeat the worst of its history.

À fire alarm delayed Baltic independence by a week. But it was a real pleasure yesterday to have @parispychen (@unibirmingham, f: @UCLSSEES PhD) with us for another week of Baltic Politics & Society seminars! Always great to chat in Estonian with my Taiwanese friend, too. 🙂

Our conversation about learning Estonian at Tartu (Eel)arvamusfestival is finally out as a podcast.
