Diversity-Sensitive Teaching Award: Excellent and versatile

The annual Diversity-Sensitive Teaching Award was presented for the 8th time on September 10, 2025 as part of the Senate meeting. The aim of the teaching award is to recognize teachers and teaching concepts that deal with the topic of diversity or its individual dimensions in line with the 2030 Diversity Strategy. The award winners received prize money totaling 10,000 euros financed by Excellence Strategy funds.

In her laudatory speech, Prof. Dr Roswitha Böhm, Vice-Rector University Culture and Internationalization, emphasized not only the relevance of diversity for excellent teaching, but also the importance of visibility in times and environments in which diversity is increasingly criticized.

The award winners 2025:

• Prof. Dr. Ajla Skrbic was awarded for two courses dealing with issues of diversity in the field of international law: the seminar "Gender and War: Sexual Violence and the Shifting Landscape of International Law" and the colloquium "Critical Approaches to International Law".
• Dr. Elisabeth Ansel was honored for the seminar "Invisible Worlds: Blindness in Art".
• Prof. Dr. Carsten Junker was honoured for the lecture "Key Texts in American Cultural History" and his long-standing commitment to diversity-sensitive teaching.
