Back after SFRA 2024 – here are my conference slides!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I’ve been away!

SFRA 2024 was a great conference and we had a wonderful time in Tartu and Tallinn – I’m really grateful for the invitation and everyone’s kindness.

Unfortunately we had a rather rough time traveling back – we got stranded in Dallas due to the weather. So it took me a while to recover and I’m still not back to my usual. Please be patient if you are waiting on a respo

“„Alkudj meg! Csak egyszer. Mit számít az? – Mindent. A megalkuvás olyan, mint a leszaladt szem a nylonharisnyán. A szem fut tovább – és az ember végül leszaladt szemekből áll.”

“Tizennyolc éves koromban, amikor nagykorú lettem, tudod, mi jutott eszembe? Nem az, hogy mától kezdve szavazati jogom van; nem az, hogy szülői beleegyezés nélkül is férjhez mehetek; nem az, hogy az örökségemmel – ha volna ilyen! – magam rendelkezhetem; hanem az, hogy mostantól kezdve fel is akaszthatnak azért, amiért tegnap még csak javítóintézetbe csuktak volna. Szóval a törvény jutott eszembe…”
