Workshop: We Need to Talk!

Intersectionality has entered the public discourse. But what does it actually mean? On an abstract level, there is a widespread desire to work with this concept, coupled with a commitment to critiquing power structures. At the same time, however, the question arises as to whether everyone can truly come together under this term on equal footing.

This workshop aims to help participants collectively grasp intersectionality by clarifying key terms, highlighting different perspectives, and reflecting on their significance in social and institutional contexts.

The workshop is open to everyone! 

Date: May 20, 2026

Time: 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., including breaks

Location: CN0003, Caprivi Campus, Caprivistraße 30, 49076 Osnabrück

Participation is limited to 20 people.

Speaker: Gabriela Exner
