Wrote this series first of all to vent about it, but also to preserve a trace of what was said and how it was answered. End of the #HamidStory series: from classroom → publisher ("Textbooks aren’t sociological analyses") → school ("We’ll forward this" / "do it yourself") → Outcome: responsibility dissolved.

New Post: After a discrimination complaint about a German coursebook hit a dead end with the school and publisher, I asked NGOs and academics for guidance — and got neither answers nor meaningful responses

New blog post: A concrete case from German language education: a textbook narrative, a complaint, and how a language school responded — appreciation without responsibility.

The second part of Hamid's story: Wrote to the publisher about Hamid's overly grateful story—got polite dodge. Found sloppy "Migrationshintergrund = Ausländeranteil", chased again. Same pattern: small promises, big skips.

"From the perspective of an immigrant from a Muslim-majority country, this story sends a troubling message: the message is that simply escaping war should be enough reason to be grateful.”

New Post: First part of a small series based on true experiences. The text describes how everyday discrimination is encountered and how different institutions respond — sometimes clearly, often very distantly. It also touches on the uncertainty of whether reporting is worth the effort.

The idea in this post is to share the software tools I use for my research, which I hope will be helpful for others, especially those without money or enough resources. #researchtools #lowbudgetresearch #poorresearchers #freesoftware #opensource #writing #dataanalysis #research
