“Higher education institutions currently reflect not only a wide variety of student life contexts and educational backgrounds, but the range of differences among students has also grown significantly.” (Kaufmann, M.; Satilmis, A.: 2018)
What does this statement mean specifically for teaching and learning scenarios at universities? Following a brief introduction to diversity and equity in the university context, we will work together to collect various case studies from teaching practice in which student diversity plays a role. Following this, we will explore the question of what both faculty and students need to ensure teaching and learning that is sensitive to discrimination.
What do students want? What professional development and support do faculty members need to adequately address an increasingly diverse student body?
The workshop is aimed equally at faculty and students at HSZG.
The workshop will be led by Janna Burr and Julia Lochner from the “ChanGe – Equal Opportunities in Higher Education” project at the Saxon Center for University Pedagogy , in cooperation with the Equal Opportunity Coordination Office. The project is developing a self-study program for university faculty on the topic of diversity-sensitive teaching.
The workshop will take place in Building G I, Room 1.20, Görlitz.
