Exercised my right to vote as an Austrian today. Special in many ways for me personally but important to remember what has led to this point for women. Please take this moment to also think of women's rights currently in Afghanistan.

Su Yon Yim came and spent some time with us in Graz and enriched our team. I learned an enormous amount about English teachers in primary schools in Korea from her. I am delighted that, thanks to her commitment, their voices are heard through this article. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
