Public inauguration ceremony of the Women's Centre for Bilillee Machbuba at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg9 July (5-7 p.m.) on the main campus
On behalf of the Department of Technical and Environmental Sociology, FrauenOrte Brandenburg, the Central Equal Opportunities Officer of BTU and students of the BTU4Future module, we cordially invite you to the public inauguration ceremony of the Women's Place for Bilillee Machbuba at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
The new memorial plaque for Bilillee Machbuba has been standing on Konrad-Wachsmann-Allee since last December. Students from the BTU4Future module have spent the last few months working with artist Patricia Vester to further develop the Women's Place for Bilillee Ajiamé Machbuba in order to reflect on different perspectives on (colonial) history and, in particular, to highlight marginalised perspectives and decolonise cultures of remembrance.

Research and learning at the interface of environment, society and technology
The department researches and teaches on the multiple interactions of technological and social development and their impact on the environment, as well as the influence of a changing environment on society.
Our projects are inter- and transdisciplinary: We integrate scientific knowledge from different disciplines as well as experiential knowledge from the lifeworlds and practical fields of various social actors.
In doing so, we generate three forms of knowledge:
- System knowledge - on the genesis and character of complex socio-ecological problems.
- Target knowledge - on the socially desirable as well as intrageneratinally and intergenerationally equitable development goals
- Transformation knowledge - on the approaches to solutions and transformation paths towards sustainability.
We are open to requests for project work, bachelor's and master's theses as well as PhD topics from students and young researchers!
