Equality Slam

Using all the tricks in the wordsmith’s book!

It´s about time. The University turned 50!

The audience experienced - live in the Schwankhalle and on screen via livestream -  great contributions about sexism and racism in the lecture theater, on educational background as a hindrance, and on barriers on campus that block the way, even in the digital world. Diverse performances by interesting women* artists made a memorable night!

Poetry without prizes!

There were only winners at this contest. We were subverting the seemingly unavoidable achievement principle in education and science and stood up against it together instead of going against one another. In the end, equal opportunities and diversity won out and there was much applause for all!
