Sarah Khan

Im Mietshaus in Prenzlauer Berg will niemand lange wohnen bleiben. Durchs Treppenhaus spukt eine alte Klavierlehrerin. Wer war diese Frau? Sarah Khan sucht in alten Adressbüchern und findet ihren Namen schließlich im Totenbuch der Elias-Gemeinde aus dem Jahr 1945. Plötzlich versteht man die verzweifelte Botschaft der alten Frau. In Kreuzberg steht ein großes Spukhaus – das Krankenhaus Bethanien, heute Künstlerhaus. Sarah Khan geht auf nächtliche Gespensterjagd und lüftet das Geheimnis des verwunschenen Bauwerks, in dem schon vor 160 Jahren der Geist von Theodor Fontane gesichtet wurde, der dort als Apotheker arbeitete. Sarah Khan berichtet in ihren Geschichten von Gläserrücken mit der Stasi, ängstlichen Grufties, weißen Katzen, einem furchtsamen Popstar in einem Ostberliner Hochhaus, und vielen anderen haarsträubenden Ereignissen, unerklärlichen Vorkommnissen, jenseitigen Erfahrungen. »Sarah Khan forscht Gespenstern nach und fördert deutsche Geschichte zutage. Meisterhaft recherchiert, großartig geschrieben, zutiefst unheimlich.« Daniel Kehlmann

Wohnungsauflösungen und Tabula rasa, Not- und Spontanverkäufe. Was treibt Menschen dazu, sich über Kleinanzeigen für kleines Geld von ihren Dingen zu trennen? Ernsthaft, in Kaufabsicht, hat Sarah Khan viele Inserierende getroffen und genau hingehört, als sie anfingen, ihre Lebensgeschichten zu erzählen – und aus Oral History Literatur gemacht. Entstanden sind Geschichten von Abschied und Neuanfang, Glück und Unglück, von hochfahrenden oder bereits geplatzten Träumen. Seit Sarah Khan mit ihrer Familie ein altes Schulhaus in Brandenburg renoviert und als Wochenendhaus einrichtet, studiert sie ständig eBay-Kleinanzeigen. Sie findet dort nicht nur Haushaltsgegenstände, sondern auch ungetragene Hochzeitskleider, Pferdebücher, Kosmetikartikel, Fotoalben. Und sie stellt fest: Hinter diesen Anzeigen verbergen sich Menschen. Die traurige Yvonne mit ihrem Hochzeitskleid; eine junge Frau, die ernsthaft glaubt, mit ihrer Pferdebuchsammlung könne sie ihre Altersversorgung sichern; eine Wahrsagerin, die ihre Dienste anbietet und dabei ins Stammeln gerät; ein Tierpfleger, genannt der »Affen-Walter«, der einst Michael Jackson durch den Berliner Zoo geführt hat, Bilder im Album zeugen davon. Was ist diesen Menschen passiert, die sich von Teilen ihres Lebens trennen wollen? Sie haben es Sarah Khan erzählt, und Sarah Khan hat ihre Geschichten aufgeschrieben.

"The job of a 'measure' or an 'index' is to distill what is particularly relevant for our purpose,and then to focus specifcally on that... That is not an easy task." Sen (1989). And that is precisely our aim. In this paper, a measurement for multidimensional exposure to Stephan Klasen is developed for the first time ever. We use our exposure measure to test theoretical predictions on its effects on worldview, life perspectives, and various welfare measures. In our sample, the exposure degree to Stephan Klasen varies signifcantly, with a slight majority identified as "exposed" according to our frst-of-its-kind Multidimensional Stephan Klasen Exposure Index. Our results show that being exposed to Stephan Klasen increases: 1) tolerance overall (and in particular towards macroeconomists, statisticians and people wearing socks with sandals), 2) preference of postdocs over PhDs in times of scarcity, 3) self-perceived wealth, and 4) a person's consciousness towards global problems such as inequality, poverty, and climate change. Furthermore, we show that specifc habits such as signing emails with initials, social media usage, and brushing teeth can partly explain the Stephan Klasen effect. The data allow us to draw some highly relevant policy conclusions. We conclude that while caution on the causal interpretation of our estimates is needed, our exercise confirms years of qualitative evidence which has unequivocally indicated the multidimensional benefits of being exposed to Stephan Klasen.

The Multidimensional Stephan Klasen Exposure Index

This volume explores the inner-workings of English-medium instruction (EMI) in higher education (HE) at two universities. After an introductory chapter that sets the scene and provides an essential background, there are four empirically based chapters that draw on data collected from a range of sources at two universities in Catalonia. This includes interviews, audio/video recordings of classes, audio logs produced by both lecturers and students, policy documents, students’ written work, and student presentation evaluation rubrics. These chapters examine the following issues: (1) the choice of either English or Catalan as the medium of instruction by students and lecturers; (2) how students display ambivalence towards EMI, as well as a general lack of enthusiasm towards and an ironic distance from 'doing education’; (3) how students resist EMI by contravening its English monolingual norm, using their L1s in the classroom; and finally, (4) how EMI lecturers on occasion act as English language teachers despite their continued claims to the contrary. The book ends with a concluding chapter that draws all of the strands together around key themes. This book is written for scholars interested in issues surrounding EMI in HE in general, as well as those EMI in HE practitioners who have adopted a reflective approach to their professional practice and wish to know more about the ins and outs of EMI in HE from multiple perspectives. It is a useful resource for MA and PhD students on applied linguistics programmes in which the roles and uses of English in HE worldwide are deemed to be important and worthy of attention. Additionally, this will be relevant to courses or modules focusing on language policy, as well as curriculum issues more broadly and language teaching practice more specifically.
