Keynote und Diskussion: Vielfalt im Hörsaal? Diskriminierung an Hochschulen entgegenwirken
| DAAD-Preis
Discussion
tbd
Themen wie Antidiskriminierung und Diversität spielen besonders an einer internationalen Hochschule wie dem KIT eine zentrale Rolle. Doch wie kann Antidiskriminierung konkret vorangebracht werden? Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen Minderheiten an einer Hochschule und welche Lösungsansätze bietet die Academia selbst? Wie kann Weltoffenheit am KIT gelebt und Chancengleichheit gefördert werden und wo begegnet uns Alltagsrassismus auch auf dem Campus?
Darüber wird die Autorin und Referentin Anna Mendel in ihrer Keynote sprechen. Anschließend möchten wir mit Ihnen zum Thema „Vielfalt im Hörsaal? Diskriminierung an Hochschulen“ diskutieren.
Die Veranstaltung wird organisiert von der AG Anti-Rassismus und Anti-Diskriminierung.
DAAD-Preis Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung wird auch der Preis des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes für ausländische Studierende (DAAD-Preis) verliehen. Der Preis ist mit 1.000 Euro dotiert und wird an Studierende vergeben, die besondere akademische Leistungen und darüber hinaus ein herausragendes Engagement im internationalen Kontext am KIT erbracht haben.
Moderation: Jens Rudat
