Diversity Topics in Teaching

At the University of Bamberg, all four faculties offer courses that explore questions of gender and age, individual abilities, origin, or religion. These seminars, lectures, and practical training courses on diversity-related topics are extremely varied, demonstrating the university’s commitment to a lively academic exchange across disciplines. Indeed, the consideration of human differences is precisely what often connects our disciplines.

Course Catalog Gender & Diversity

The Course Catalog Gender & Diversity(1.2 MB) presents all the German- and English-language courses that engage with gender- and diversity-related topics per semester – in one file, ready to download, and easy to browse.

It invites all students and interested individuals to take advantage of the wide range of classes the University of Bamberg has to offer on gender and diversity issues. It is also meant to inspire new forms of scholarly collaboration within and among disciplines, and to intensify the academic dialog and exchange on how human differences matter in various research areas – historically, thematically, and conceptually.

Further information on the courses included in this course catalog can be found in this overview on UnivIS.
