Racism is anchored in our society and in our daily life. Racism still has an effect today even where one might least suspect it: in science and research. The lecture illustrates the causes and manifestations of individual, institutional and structural racism in everyday life and in the workplace, especially in institutions of education and research. It focuses in particular on academic racism in science and research. However, the lecture also shows what possibilities we have as a community, as individuals, and as a research institution to counter racism in its various forms. The speaker Nursemin Sönmez is a systemic organizational consultant and diversity trainer. She has many years of experience working with universities, political foundations and educational institutions. Her presentation is intended as an impulse for a stronger exchange and structural implementation of a discrimination-free environment in our research institutions. The event will be held bilingually (German and English).
