with the academic year 2024/25 spiel|mach|t|raum expands the focus even more decidedly - than in the concept of gender, which was never conceivable without class/social origin and race/ethnicity anyway - to other dimensions of inequality such as age, sexual orientation, differently abled, etc., in order to make multidimensional and intersectional thinking explicit, this expansion is also expressed in a corresponding subtitle of the web resource: spiel|mach|t|raum. frauen* und gender|queer|diversitäts-themen an der mdw ^{1817-2017plus}.

how to perceive and learn to see racism, sustainability and gender diversity in music*theatre*film, how to bring them to the fore? with contributions by andrea ellmeier, doris ingrisch and a video work by florian tanzer.

the web resource spiel|mach|t|raum is a doing memory in which previously forgotten people from the history of the mdw are remembered, but sometimes also selected gender/queer/diversity topics worthy of discussion are presented in music*theatre*film in order to visibly inscribe people and topics into the historical memory of the mdw institution. at the same time, spiel|mach|t|raum is also a doing future, when students present their ideas of positions, perspectives and wishes for the present and future in ‘positionen_visionen - träume heute’. spiel|mach|t|raum also contains articles on structural university conditions that made it possible for a web resource like spiel|mach|t|raum to emerge in the first place (cf. the articles: ‘wie kam gender an die universitäten’ and ‘gender studies und gender wissen an der mdw’).
