Workshop: Discrimination (also) a problem at the university - Concepts, causes and possibilities for action (in german language, english translation on demand)
Speaker: Steffen Beigang (Institut f¨¹r Demokratie und Zivilgesellschaft (IDZ), Jena)
Content:?
Racism, sexism, rejectionism, heteronormativity and other structural principles of societies also have an impact on universities. They effect that marginalization, exclusion, barriers and discrimination occur here as well. All members of the university should be be attentive to this, to question their own privileges and to contribute to a fair and just environment. During the workshop, participants will discuss what discrimination is and how it shows up in the university context. Various scientific studies will be used to learn how often discrimination occurs at universities and what are the causes. Finally, the participants will work out which individual and collective options for action against discrimination exist and and for what reasons people do not defend themselves against discrimination.
