Awards for diversity-sensitive teaching
Table of contents
TU Dresden will once again be awarding the Diversity-Sensitive Teaching Award in 2025. The aim of the teaching award is to recognize teachers and / or teaching concepts that deal with diversity or one or more dimensions of diversity in the sense of TU Dresden's 2030 Diversity Strategy. In this way, the courses and teaching staff help to sensitize students to diversity. At the same time, the teaching award is intended to demonstrate the high relevance of diversity-sensitive aspects in excellent teaching.
Students and teaching staff can submit proposals from April 7 to May 27. The courses to be awarded will be chosen by a selection committee based on defined criteria. A total of €10,000 in annual prize money is available from the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State governments.
Award-winning courses and teaching staff 2024
Long-standing commitment in the field of diversity in teaching at the Faculty of Medicine
PD Dr. Monika Valtink (she/her) and Anne Röhle (she/her)
In particular, PD Dr. Monika Valtink is being honored for the lecture series "Gender-sensitive medicine". She has been offering the interdisciplinary lecture series since the winter semester 2022/23. This provides insights into gender-dependent aspects of various medical disciplines. Gender-sensitive medicine has not yet been anchored in medical training and further education curricula, which is why it is all the more important to make this offer visible and promote it.
We would like to pay special tribute toAnne Röhle for the courses at the Medical Interprofessional Training Center. Here, medical students acquire basic practical skills and communication skills for the start of their careers. Diversity-sensitive language is used in the courses and students are asked about their needs in advance. Stereotypes are counteracted in the simulation of treatments and telepresence robots can be used to enable participation for people who are unable to attend the course in person.
Pride Week - Queerness in educational contexts
by Vivi Renner (dey/deren) and Roman Semmler (none/neutral pronouns), students of the Faculty of Education
Pride Week is a student-organized week of events that aims to create spaces for a critical examination of social, patriarchal patterns of oppression in educational contexts. To this end, various events are organized that stimulate further training in terms of content and methodology, support collective and individual reflection processes, create points of contact and offer opportunities for networking and exchange.
Dance theater
by Barbara Hoffmann (ens/they|them)
Reflexionsgespräch am Ende der Probe
The dance theater course is open to anyone interested, regardless of previous knowledge and movement restrictions, and invites you to get to know forms of physical theater improvised and without voice. The course focuses on a playful approach to one's own body and a mindful relationship with the other participants. In any case, this course promises a joyful approach to one's own creativity as well as maximum freedom and self-determination with one's own curiosity.
The Unit Diversity Management would like to congratulate this year's award winners. A big thank you to them, all applicants and the members of the selection committee for their commitment to diversity-sensitive teaching at TU Dresden.
