Bettina Paetzold Award for Good Gender Education
It is the responsibility of the Academic Equal Opportunity Officer to promote research and teaching within the field of gender studies. For this reason, the Academic Equal Opportunity Officer created an award at the end of the Year of Gender 2016 (Genderjahr 2016) for outstanding teaching related to gender studies. After all, gender equality work only benefits from the results of research when the key findings of gender research are conveyed to students.
All lecturers at the University of Bamberg can be nominated. Nominations can be submitted by all students of the University of Bamberg and by the Dean of Studies from all faculties. The Equal Opportunity Advisory Board selects potential award winners from these nominations, and those nominees can then apply with a statement about their teaching experience. As the Bettina Paetzold Prize is intended to serve as a career advancement tool, lecturers and people in permanent positions are not considered. However, they can be nominated for the Diversity Award.
The Award's Namesake
