A Critical Reflection on where we are and what we do
In this workshop, we depart from feminist theory to explore the academic landscape by putting the experiences of scholarly work and practices at the center. By reflecting upon the university as a place of being and becoming, this workshop aims to connect scholars in a sense of shared experiences.
After a workshop for early career researchers with Kathy Davis, Helma Lutz and Ann Phoenix, the international workshop "Intersectionality as Key Concept for Research on Diversity" is open for everyone interested to join.
In the welcome event of the Cornelia Goethe Centrum with the head of the study program Sarah Speck and the study program coordinator, we introduce the study program, explain the study organization and answer any questions that may arise.
The workshop aims to address current debates relating to the epistemological status of intersectionality as well as its potentials and limitations for individual disciplines and for interdisciplinary research. Particular attention is paid to the potentials and hurdles of the concept of intersectionality as an interdisciplinary analytical tool.

Artist talk between Grada Kilomba, Aaliyah Lauterkranz and Lidia Ghirmai. The talk is open to everyone interested without prior registration and free of charge.
“What stories are told? How are they told? Where are they told? And told by whom?”
In an informal lunch setting, we aim to open a space for Grada Kilomba to talk about her experiences and insights into knowledge production within and without academia and the praxis of performing knowledge.
As speaker of the GRADE Center Gender, Prof. Sarah Speck cordially invites you to a welcome meeting for new members and a networking meeting for all GRADE Gender members.
In this first part, titled Heroines, Birds and Monsters, Kilomba explores the concepts of post-coloniality, violence and erasure, memory and forgetting, ritual and knowledge production as well as the concepts of amnesia and repetition.
The reading sessions are held in preparation for the seminar "The Art of Performing Knowledge" by this year's Angela Davis guest professor Grada Kilomba.
Gender and school education using the example of a textbook page
The dominant understanding of knowledge and education is that they are something good and desirable. Post- and decolonial perspectives show that education is not good per se. It is a product of powerful production processes that are part of a continuity of coloniality.
