Teaching & Diversity

Teaching that is diversity-conscious and critical of discrimination does not see diversity as a challenge, but as the status quo which it is important to address.

Students arrive at universities with very different biographies and social backgrounds and are confronted here, as they have already been at school, with barriers and hurdles that can go hand in hand with disadvantage and exclusion and, in the worst case, end with them dropping out.

Teaching that is diversity-oriented and critical of discrimination contributes to an open and respectful study environment for students that gives them the freedom for personal development, addresses structural disadvantages and presents opportunities to offset them, and also upgrades support structures.

Goethe University offers teaching staff individual consulting services, guidelines and handouts as well as a wide range of events to help them reflect on their teaching in terms of diversity and discrimination and to become more professional in their handling of these issues.
