Event series ‘We stand together – in solidarity, committed, democratic’: Diversity management: Intersectionality in Urban Planning

Topic: Diversity management: Intersectionality in Urban Planning with Prof. Dr Anna-Lisa Müller from LUH.

Part of the event series: We stand together – in solidarity, committed, democratic.

Democratic values are coming under increasing pressure, including in academia and at universities. With this series of events, we are sending a clear message in support of an open, diverse and united university community. Together with guests from academia, the legal profession and the wider community, we want to discuss how we can stand up for democratic values at the BTU and beyond. We will be asking how right-wing attacks affect our fields of work, what the principle of neutrality means in a higher education context, what might change in research and teaching if a right-wing party comes to power, and what role academia has to play in these times. Through lectures, panel discussions and workshops, we want to prepare for the future together with you and, across the whole university, form an alliance against the shift to the right. 

We look forward to seeing you there and to sharing ideas with you!
