I learned Luxembourgish at the University!

One thing that happened in Luxembourg during your student time that you still remember:

The faculty (and the rest of the country) paid tribute to Charlie Hebdo and to the victims of the 13 November terrorist attacks which both took place in Paris. Since I wrote my PhD on how anti-terrorism legislation shaped the social control of the society, those events had a special impact on my thesis.

The last months of my PhD, Donald Trump became president.

The question we didn’t ask but you want to answer 😊:
