In this workshop, you will deal with various dimensions of gender- and diversity-conscious teaching, such as methods, communication, teaching content and framework conditions, and learn about important principles for good teaching. In doing so, we follow a concept of diversity that strengthens anti-discrimination as a perspective. You will be informed about the legal foundations, regulations and counseling services at Freie Universität that provide the framework for the implementation of diversity and anti-discrimination. We will focus on cases for specific situations in courses, analyze their gender and diversity-related aspects and develop methodological options for your course design. You will have the opportunity to bring examples from your own teaching to the workshop.
