This means different forms of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emdiplomacy</span></a> in different European countries as well as different diplomatic actors. Therefore, we introduce you to black <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emdiplomats</span></a> last month. <br>Moreover, for us this also means giving researchers from different countries a voice: either by introducing you to their work or during the editing process by including them in the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/handbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handbook</span></a>. For us this is fundamental and connected, because only by listening to different (academic and historical) voices we can understand the complexity of (historical and current) societies. But again, we can only do this, when we have academic freedom.
