When we talk about discrimination in current debates, it is often linked to individuals or groups. People are portrayed as stereotypes and devalued across the board.

The intersectional lens instead focuses on the structures that lead to exclusion and difficult access to social participation. Some of these structures are not always recognizable at first glance.

You will learn more about the categories in the lecture Gender, Class, race and  Body, how they influence each other and how they (also) lead to social inequality in a global context.

We will get to know the basics of intersectionality together and then apply it to the context of our own work. How can we incorporate and further develop existing concepts in our work? What is the significance of self-perception and reflection of (internalized) power relations? And how can we combine theory and practice?

About the speaker: Since her master's thesis, Mariella Winter has been dealing with the effects of intersectionally connected discrimination mechanisms. Other core topics of expertise include migration and space, institutional racism, equal opportunities and educational justice in (post)migrant society as well as post-/de-colonial studies.
