On a recent trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina, @rashaelass was curious to see how a European country that survived besiegement, war and genocide might look three decades on. She writes what she learned in this @newlinesmag essay. newlinesmag.com/first-person…

A glimpse into Brussels’ technosphere- 2000 km of sewer pipes are underneath the city, along with rodents who apparently eat ~33% of human food waste in the sewer system that would otherwise get clogged more often … Sunday visit in the Sewer Museum #Brussels

A milestone. Last week, @UCSIA_Antwerp celebrated the 20th anniv of its Summer Schools on Religion & Society, which I've been part of as a participant and then as a guest lecturer. This collegial group convened to work on the theme for the next three years.😇 📷 Sigrid Meulemans – at Zaventem, België
