"Who am I and what brought me here? Aspects of origin in their influence on life, education, career and research paths" on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 3 - 6 pm
The UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated annually on February 11. The day is intended to draw attention to the fact that despite formal equality, scientific spaces are still characterized by gender-specific and intersectional inequalities.
To mark this day, we would like to discuss with you in the workshop "Who am I and what brought me here? Aspects of origin in their influence on life, education, career and research paths", we would like to discuss your own biographical, social and structural conditions that have shaped your professional career. The workshop will focus on the question of how gender, diversity and social inequalities can structure, hinder or promote scientific careers, knowledge processes and research practices. Using examples from technology research, we will raise awareness of the interactions between science, technology and society.
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to discuss topics and findings in greater depth over snacks and drinks and to make contacts across disciplines. In addition to exciting content, there will also be a little surprise to take away!
Accompanying the event, the interactive exhibition "Faces of Computer Science" makes the contributions and achievements of historical pioneers and current female researchers in the field of computer science visible and tangible. The exhibition was realized by the Interactive Science Lab at the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences (CIDS) together with the Diversity Management of the TUD and can be visited for another four weeks in the Fritz-Förster-Bau.
The event takes place in cooperation between the project team "SustainING", the "Dresden Network for Students in Doctoral Studies and Research" and Diversity Management.
