Areas of Interest & Research:
Gender and Diversity-Aware Education
analyses teaching content, methodology/didactics and patterns of interaction on the one hand and structural conditions on the other. Its aim is to make free personality development and equal and successful learning possible for everyone involved in the educational process without restrictions being placed upon them by their individual social characteristics, such as gender, etc.
Gender Mainstreaming
is a gender policy strategy with the aim of promoting gender democracy. GM does not focus primarily on individuals but instead relates predominantly to structures. As an organisational development process, GM requires gender competence at all levels within an organisation and places clear responsibility upon the management level.
Gender and
Diversity Management
is
aimed at ensuring awareness of social diversity and using it to further
the
development of organisations and society. In addition to gender, ethnic
or
cultural affiliation, physical or mental skills, religion, age and
sexual
orientation, to name but a few, are also aspects of diversity that have
relevance for educational processes and institutions. The conscious
recognition
of social differences and the conscious utilisation of heterogeneity
promote
equality of opportunity and the creative skills of all.
