This workshop aims to critically examine ableism as a systemic form of discrimination against people with “disabilities,” with a specific focus on research in the humanities and social sciences. The goal is to consider how discriminatory structures can be addressed and broken down in these research settings and how this can also be implemented in teaching and writing at the university.

This talk, after reviewing the often-underexplored role of gender in researching illiberalism, discusses two case studies of how inhabitants of a village in Hungary, at the bank of the largest, ‘sweet water’ lake in Europe, Lake Balaton, resisted replacing a forest with a fuel station and resistance to the illiberal transformation of higher education. The cases illustrate that when neoliberal forces hijack the narratives of progress and modernity, local networks can work as a site of resistance if they ally.

The workshop invites the movers to engage with their creative selves, connecting with elements of nature and moving with polyrhythmic and experimental music from the global south. In the second part of the session, we will connect each participant’s artistic practice with their research through guided exercises that emphasize imagination and performative writing.

At the Cornelia Goethe Center's welcome event, we will introduce you to the degree program, explain how it is organized, and answer any questions you may have.

This year's symposium of the International Women*'s Theater Festival 2025 is dedicated to intersectional ecofeminism in art, theater, activism, and science.
