Comment/Description

This interactive series of lectures seeks to introduce you to the concepts of and issues in gender, sexuality, and diversity studies. The aim is to make clear how gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ rights, race, class, nationhood, migration status, and ableism have to be thought in conjunction with each other in order to understand and to trouble existing social hierarchies. In each session, we will relate an issue such as racial politics or trans rights to the U.S. American and/or the German cultural political context, paying particular attention to contentious issues in this American election year. The goal is to heighten our sensibilities for how we think and talk about and react to social hierarchies based on categories of identity.

The lecture series can be taken as part of your Anglophone Studies coursework and/or as the introduction to the Certificate in Gender, Sexuality, and Diversity. This certificate aims to give students the tools for understanding how gender and sexuality intersect with other areas of identity and social experience so as to combat continued forms of inequality in work and in their private lives. The certificate also adds a valuable extra qualification for those who wish to work in organizations and businesses committed to diversity (https://www.uni-giessen.de/faculties/f05/certificates/certificate-in-gender-sexuality-and-diversity).
