Reflections on the transformation of work
The current transformation of the world of work is characterized by a profound transformation of work processes. This development has the potential to create both opportunities and challenges for employees and employers. While some traditional professions may become obsolete, new fields of activity are opening up at the same time. Our lecture series will take a closer look at corresponding theses and concepts on the transformation of work and discuss the effects of change on the future of work. The lecture series offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from various disciplines and gain current insights into the changing work landscape.
Winter semester 2023/24: STUDIUM DECOLONIALE?
Plakat zur Ringvorlesung "studium dekoloniale"
Research, education and mediation in a postcolonial perspective
With a view to the recent call by Jürgen Zimmerer et al. in "Forschung & Lehre" to "[break] the colonial amnesia in the sciences" and against the background of the upcoming anniversary of the TUD Dresden University of Technology in 2028, the lecture series will take a critical look at colonial history - including that of the TU Dresden and its predecessors. The aim is to raise awareness of the topic of "colonial history" and to provide the interested audience with a critical and diverse insight by bringing together institutions and stakeholders in the culture of remembrance and memory.
