The talk discusses the field of Gender Studies by addressing its changes from gender to queer studies, lived realities of researchers (and students) and white womanhood and allyship. What does it mean to engage in gender studies as a critical practice?

Johanna Pitetti-Heil is a tenured senior lecturer (Akademische Rätin) for gender and diversity studies at the English Department of the University of Cologne. 

About the series:

The “Gender & Diversity Lunch” series invites all members of the CRC “Media of Cooperation” and “Transformations of the Popular” to an exchange on current topics and issues in the fields of gender equality, diversity and the compatibility of family and science. The goal of the series is to facilitate networking between CRC members and individuals from different fields and with different biographical experiences. A guest on a particular topic is invited to each event. The series is held at lunchtime, including a snack. Suggestions for topics and guests are always welcome.

A collaborative format of CRC 1187 & 1472 on equal opportunities
