Submission, Not Complicity: Agency and Heteronomy Under Oppression

We invite PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from the GRADE Center Gender and others to join an informal lunch meeting with Elizabeth Loentz, Ph.D. In this relaxed setting, she will share her experiences navigating the academic system as a woman as well as the first person in her family to study. This meeting offers the opportunity to get insights into the challenges of academia, but also to connect with other researchers. It is aimed primarily at Early Career Researchers as well as anyone interested in the topic.

The anthology 'Gender Studies Otherwise' is published by the Decolonization working group of the association for Gender Studies. The aim of the volume is to document debates and reflections on experiences with decolonization projects in teaching, research, and institutions, and to share and promote decolonial, antiracist visions of Gender Studies. At the book launch, editors and authors speak about the objective of the volume, inclusions and exclusions in and the state of Gender Studies in Germany, as well as the relevance of decolonizing practices.

This workshop aims to help students improve their academic writing through the principles of creative writing. In particular, creative writing can help manage two unwieldy and often overlooked components of the scholarly paper: the first-person subject and narrative or story. The workshop aims to hone several structural and stylistic skills so that participants can feel more confident in their ability to write well.

Following an examination of Virginia Woolf's Three Guineas (1938) and her analysis of the connections between anti-Semitism, fascism, and patriarchal gender orders, this lecture explores contemporary processes of fascistization as manifested in Trump's “War on Woke.”
