Inauguration of the Angela Davis Visiting Professorship for International Gender and Diversity Studies
December 3 2013 (all day) to December 12 2013 (all day)
The Cornelia Goethe Centre for Women's Studies and Gender Studies established the Angela Davis Visiting Professorship for International Gender and Diversity Studies at the beginning of the 2013/2014 winter semester. The visiting professorship named after her was launched in December 2013 by the US civil rights activist and critical social scientist Angela Davis, who was a guest at the Cornelia Goethe Centrum from 3 to 12 December 2013.
The Angela Davis Guest Professorship for International Gender and Diversity Studies serves to promote international and interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of gender and diversity.
Prof Angela Davis is regarded as a pioneer in the global race-class-gender debate and as a pioneer of critical discourse within gender and diversity studies. Her perspective on overlapping forms of inequality based on gender, ethnicity and class has become part of social science theorising as triple oppression - or currently as the intersectionality approach.
Angela Davis was the first holder of the visiting professorship at the Cornelia Goethe Centre in 2013. Following its successful launch, the visiting professorship is filled at regular intervals by an internationally renowned researcher.
