These festive photos are just in from our Boston office! Activities spanned crafts, special gift bags and a game of "Family Feud" at the office, plus merrymaking over drinks in the evening. Unlike many a family holiday, there were absolutely no feuds here!

Stay tuned for videos of the screen printing workshop later in the week!

Was zeichnet guten Designunterricht aus – und warum ist ein offenes Ohr dabei mindestens genauso wichtig wie ein gutes Auge? Sven Ingmar Thies von der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien (Die Angewandte) teilt seine Einsichten über die Bedeutung des aktiven Zuhörens und berichtet, was er aus 24 Gesprächen mit internationalen Lehrenden gelernt hat.

On our blog this month, we're putting a spotlight on an important topic that concerns us all: mental health.

Feeling overwhelmed? Psychologist Angelika von Aufseß (V&R) extols the benefits of keeping a good old-fashioned diary: https://blog.degruyter.com/the-comeback-of-the-diary-and-how-it-boosts-your-wellbeing/

Literature offers a powerful tool for understanding mental distress as a social issue, not just an individual one, as Marcella Fassio explains: https://blog.degruyter.com/beyond-individual-suffering-mental-health-and-intersectionality-in-literature/

And finally, De Gruyter Brill offers its own mental health counseling to staff with the Fürstenberg Institut. We spoke to coach Annika von Voss about the importance of mental health at the workplace (in German): https://blog.degruyter.com/mentale-gesundheit-im-job-es-reicht-nicht-nur-daruber-zu-sprechen/
