Therefore, it is our duty as historians and academics to stand up for democracy, human rights and academic freedom. We cannot be silent and excuse ourselves by saying our research topics are purely historical, because we can only do our job properly in a democratic society that values academic freedom. (3/5)

As handbook editors and authors of this account it was and is always important to us to show #emdiplomacy in its diversity. This means different forms of #emdiplomacy in different European countries as well as different diplomatic actors. Therefore, we introduce you to black #emdiplomats last month.
Moreover, for us this also means giving researchers from different countries a voice: either by introducing you to their work or during the editing process by including them in the #handbook. For us this is fundamental and connected, because only by listening to different (academic and historical) voices we can understand the complexity of (historical and current) societies. But again, we can only do this, when we have academic freedom. (4/5)
