Breakout: tricky moments & spaces of action
Birgit Huebener, Guilherme Maggessi, Ela Posch, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Austria
What matters in the process of creating a webtool for anti-discriminatory teaching and learning practices that serves both teachers and students? How to listen to experiences and contextualise single moments while finding structural inequalities? How to critically analyse positions, hierarchies and contexts, in order to unpack the university’s goal of international peak level? How to create spaces for anti-racist, gender-sensitive and diversity-reflected teaching and learning? In this project, Huebener, Maggessi and Posch try to find the very tricky moments that take place within the university’s classrooms. The project is part of the diversity-strategy that is implemented at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
