Equality / Diversity

• Digital workshop:
  I see something you don't - Unconscious Bias in Teaching
  How we perceive other people shapes our actions. Perceptual biases can lead to unfair behavior, especially in our roles as teachers and examiners, especially since they are mostly unconscious processes, i.e. Unconscious Bias. In this workshop we will sensitize for Unconscious Bias and show ways to avoid it.

• Digital Workshop:
  Accessible digital teaching-learning media - tools and guidance for your own teaching
  The provision of digital teaching-learning media is central to blended learning and other digital education formats. Accessible and inclusive design of media is not only important for students with health impairments. Using text documents and presentations as examples, the workshop shows how instructors can design their own materials to be accessible. Supplementary 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 has now also become an established part of public discourse. Especially current non-fiction books not infrequently address it from a racism-critical, feminist and/or postcolonial perspective. Since literature is able to provide a 
    different access to socially highly relevant topics, a reading from "Language and Being" will take place in the fall. Following the reading, a discussion about language Being in the context of teaching-learning processes is planned. The discussion will include impulses from the perspectives of language and literature didactics. The plenary is also welcome to contribute questions thoughts to the conversation at any time. Reading: Kübra 
  & &
  
  Gümüşay  Participating in the follow-up discussion will be: Prof. Dr. Norbert Kruse (Uni Kassel) and Maria Gallinat (Uni Kassel) When: Thu, Oct 20 from 18:15-19:45

  In the workshop, teaching and learning were presented as dynamic and per se diverse concepts (due to individuals, materials and media, and teaching-learning goals). The focus was first on reflecting on one's own attribution activity of diversity dimensions. Then, the distinction between potential and relevant diversity aspects in teaching-learning contexts was discussed. The workshop culminated in a model-based elaboration of theoretical starting points for diversity-appropriate teaching and learning.
• "Diversity Perspectives in Higher Education - Methods and Tools for my Teaching Design" by Anna Carolin Müller (Uni Kassel) Digital Workshop: Wed, June 23, 2021, 4-6 pm (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 elaborated. The focus was on the diversity-critical reflection of 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 the learners.
