The title of this conference is: “Surveys on Diversity at Universities. Challenges and Solutions for Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Work”
Registrations are now open!
The need for empirical – and in particular quantitative – data for diversity and anti-discrimination policy in higher education and science is constantly increasing. At the same time, there are no established structures and instruments for collecting such data, meaning that many questions regarding the collection of such highly sensitive information still need to be discussed. This also means that surveys on diversity dimensions and experiences of discrimination, which have been carried out at German universities for around fifteen years, are very heterogeneous in their concrete form and reflect the development of social and academic discourses (e.g. on the diversity dimensions of ‘gender’ and ‘race’).
The conference is aimed at diversity and equality policy actors at universities and scientific institutions as well as researchers who have already gained experience with surveys on diversity and discrimination at universities or who are dealing with partial aspects in depth or who are planning a survey in the near future or are exploring the implementation possibilities for such a survey.
