Diversity lecture series

"The University of Bern recognizes its diversity in all areas as a strength."

(University of Bern, Strategy 2030)

What does diversity research mean in the different faculties and disciplines? What insights does it enable? And what challenges arise in the process? What connects researchers from different disciplines when they deal with diversity? The lecture series on diversity research aims to make relevant research projects visible and it tries to encourage interdisciplinary discussions. The University of Bern sees diversity in all areas as a strength, as it was anchored in the Strategy 2030. Researchers from all faculties of the university will give presentations, as diversity research is conducted in different categories and in many disciplines. What diversity means and entails is, in itself, diverse: the multiple perspectives lead to interesting insights into completely different fields of research, which, however, all show the relevance of diversity and variety. Finally, there will be a podium discussion about diversity at the University of Bern and opportunities as well as barriers will be discussed.

The lecture series on the topic of "Diversity Research" is organised by the Equal Opportunities Office.

The lectures take place on Mondays from 18.15 - 19.30 in the UniS in room A022.
