DivE-Q Event: New workshop “Gender and Diversity in Academic Teaching”
Student diversity is part of the reality of higher education. The different experiences and perspectives can enrich teaching and research. But in everyday life, diversity also often brings challenges: How can I do justice to the different learning conditions of students? Which attributions shape my perception – also unconsciously? How can I create a space in which everyone can learn well? Which teaching attitude and choice of methods can foster a diversity-conscious learning environment?
The workshop is based on a concept of diversity focusing on anti-discrimination, i.e. we focus on diver-sity dimensions that socially “make a difference” because they lead to discrimination/privilege due to power relations such as sexism, racism, classism, etc.
In this workshop, you will …
- Raising awareness of gender and diversity in academic teaching
- Having an overview of the dimensions of gender and diversity-conscious didactics
- Developing practical approaches for the design of gender- and diversity-conscious teaching courses
- Getting to know resources for the independent development of gender and diversity competence for teaching
