Gleichstellung / Diversity

• Digital workshop:
  I see something you don't see - unconscious bias in teaching
  How we perceive other people shapes our actions. Distortions of perception (bias) can lead to unfair behavior, especially in our roles as teachers and examiners, especially as these are mostly unconscious processes, i.e. unconscious bias. In this workshop, we will raise awareness of unconscious bias and show ways to avoid it.

• Digital workshop:
  Accessible digital teaching and learning media - tools and instructions for your own teaching
  The provision of digital teaching and learning media is a central component of blended learning and other digital educational formats. The accessible and inclusive design of media is not only important for students with health impairments. Using the example of text documents and presentations, the workshop shows how teachers can make their materials accessible themselves. Additional content and instructions for the workshop will be made available online.

• Reading and talk (SAVE THE DATE!):
  Language and Being
  Reading including follow-up discussion with bestselling author Kübra Gümüşay
  The topic of diversity is now firmly established in public discourse. Current non-fiction books in particular often address it from a racism-critical, feminist and/or postcolonial perspective. As literature is able to provide a different approach to highly relevant social issues, a reading from "Language and Being" will take place in the fall.
  Following the reading, a discussion on language and being in the context of teaching and learning processes is planned. The discussion will include impulses from a language and literature didactic perspective. The plenum is also welcome to contribute questions & thoughts to the discussion at any time.
  
  Reading: Kübra Gümüşay
  Participating in the follow-up discussion: Prof. Dr. Norbert Kruse (University of Kassel) and Maria Gallinat (University of Kassel)
  When:Thu, October 20 from 18:15-19:45

  In the workshop, teaching and learning were presented as dynamic and per se diverse concepts (due to the individuals, the materials and media as well as the teaching-learning goals). The focus was initially on reflecting on one's own attribution of diversity dimensions. Subsequently, the distinction between potential and relevant diversity aspects in teaching-learning contexts was discussed. The workshop culminated in a model-based development of theoretical starting points for diversity-oriented teaching and learning.
• "Diversity perspectives in higher education - methods and tools for my teaching design" by Anna Carolin Müller (University of Kassel) Digital workshop: Wed, June 23, 2021, 4-6 p.m. (s.t.)
  
  In this workshop, various contents for the practical implementation of a gender- and diversity-sensitive design of one's own (university) teaching were developed. The focus was on diversity-critical reflection on one's own teaching experiences, the exchange of ideas and the joint further development of one's own didactic methods and tools in order to be able to respond competently and with little discrimination to different learning styles and needs of learners.
