Anti-discrimination at universities

In the final report on the project "Discrimination-Free University - Creating Knowledge with Diversity" (in German)  by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency (2012), discrimination and discrimination mechanisms at universities are identified and suggestions are given for establishing strategies for dealing with discrimination.

Unconscious Prejudice (Anti-Bias)

Discrimination can result from so-called unconscious prejudices. These are related to stereotypes and are directly linked to social discrimination processes. They influence how we judge, make decisions and ultimately act.

Employees of TU Dresden have the opportunity to reflect on their Unconcious Bias in the workshop of the Centre for Continuing Education on 25.10.2022.

Setting boundaries

The complex topic of "setting personal boundaries and limits" concerns many people who seek counselling. The workbook by LesMigras (2018) "Setting boundaries" (in German) is considered an absolute recommendation.

Dealing with discrimination

Have you experienced violence or discrimination yourself? Do you have a person in your personal environment who has experienced violence or discrimination? Do you ask yourself how you can support others in situations of violence or discrimination?
In this booklet "Giving support" (in German) by LesMigras (2011) you will find thoughts and reflections that can support you in developing action strategies for yourself in dealing with violence and discrimination.

Detection of sexualised violence

Is this still flirting or is it already assault? That's a grey area, no one can judge that! The book "There are no grey areas" by Sara Hassan and Juliette Sanchez-Lambert from 2020 dispels this myth. It describes the Red Flag System - an alarm system that detects sexual harassment early on, even in grey areas, by taking the entire context into account.

Violence prevention in digital teaching and learning contexts

The aim of this handout "Handreichung zur Gewaltprävention in Lehr- und Lernkontexten online" by Jennifer Eickelmann et. al (2021) is to raise awareness of the fact that digitalised, virtual environments and visibilities harbour potential dangers that should be taken into consideration, especially in teaching and when planning online events.
