Jelena Kleut—an outstanding scholar and a wonderful colleague—has been dismissed from her position at the University of Novi Sad.
An important update on the latest accomplishment of the criminal organization known as the Serbian political regime.
What a great question!
I don't know, but if I were to look into it, I'd start with the archival records of the International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation atom.archives.unesco.org/iiic
I have a feeling @joakimlandahl.bsky.social may know the answer for the field of education
hey dear history-of-science-community: is there an equivalent to the Solvay-conference on physics 1927 (Brussels) in other disciplines that can be regarded as forming moment of a research field? Any in the SSH?

Thinking about it alone blows my mind.
True that. They did have quotas though, although those going to study, at least from some countries (not really sure how that worked, the doc doesn't say), would be exempt if they present the right documents.
I mean, all things considered, one has to admire the honesty here.
And the possibility that a college officer may invite you to their home, "out of genuine friendship." 😊
Climate conditions and clothing instructions for foreign students coming to US universities, 1928.
Information on food options and practices, prepared for foreign students coming to US universities, 1928.
It's 1928, and you're about to travel to the United States to study.
Here's all you should know about its climate and food, such as that "salads in great variety are characteristic of the American table" and "obviously, clothing appropriate for zero out-of-doors is uncomfortable at 37° indoors."
