Online-Talk: Anti-racist interventions – Why do student initiatives matter?

Dienstag, 17.01.2023 | 17:00-18:30 Uhr | Zoom
Talk with the Anti-racism Department at the AStA (University of Potsdam), Postcolonial Potsdam, Black Student Union (Humboldt University of Berlin), Samuel Debbas (PhD student and co-initiator of the AMG)
Moderation: Angelo Camufingo

In everyday practice at universities, experiences of racist discrimination as well as resistance against racism can be found. Student initiatives in particular deal with racism in many ways, and point out problems and offer advice and support to those affected. In this event we will talk to representatives of different initiatives about their goals and demands, why student initiatives are needed and how they see their own role as actors at the university.
