Overview

Unfortunately, this event must be postponed. It is expected to be rescheduled for the 2026–27 winter semester.

The anthology 'Gender Studies Otherwise' is published by the Decolonization working group of the association for Gender Studies. The aim of the volume is to document debates and reflections on experiences with decolonization projects in teaching, research, and institutions, and to share and promote decolonial, antiracist visions of Gender Studies. At the book launch, editors and authors speak about the objective of the volume, inclusions and exclusions in and the state of Gender Studies in Germany, as well as the relevance of decolonizing practices.

The Bertha Pappenheim Lecture on Gender and Judaism deals with topics of Jewish history, culture, and religion against the background of gender and sexuality. In the inaugural lecture, Elizabeth Loentz, Associate Professor and Associate Director of the School of Literatures, Cultural Studies and Linguistics at the University of Illinois Chicago, USA, will introduce the life and work of Bertha Pappenheim and pay special attention to the role of affect and emotion in her activism.

Dr. Mónica J. Sánchez-Flores presents her book Decolonizing Bodies, in which she examines processes of racialization through a decolonial and radical relational lens, exploring questions of embodied racism, structural inequalities, and global interconnectedness shaped by colonial legacies.
