"Dresden remains colorful" - this is the motto of numerous posters that can be seen at demonstrations. But do we really live this colorful diversity and is it 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 all 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.

In the TUD Lectures + "Colorful Diversity", Sandra Buchmüller, Visiting Researcher for Feminist Science and Technology Studies, and Alexander Lasch, Chair of German Linguistics and Language History, will answer questions from the audience. The event will be moderated by Nicole Vögele, Professor of Moving Image at the Dresden University of Fine Arts (HFBK Dresden).
