Episode 22: Colorful diversity - How can we do justice to diversity in our society, science and research?

Our podcast series YOU ASK we explain - Berührungsängste in der Medizin started in 2023 and is published monthly. In our 22st episode, as part of the TUD Lectures+, we discuss the topic: Colorful diversity - How can we do justice to diversity in our society, science and research?

We want to discuss with you and answer your questions. Do we really live colorful diversity and is this also reflected in areas such as language, technology design or medicine? Does research and development take into account the diversity of our modern society and consider the needs of people in their diversity?

Only since 2022 has there been a dummy in the well-known car crash test that takes into account the special features of the female physique. This shows that even supposed majorities such as women are often neglected in technology design. Not to mention other social groups, such as older people, people with disabilities or with different cultural experiences, to name just a few examples.

Join us live and ask us your questions - in person on site or anonymously in advance.
