In my role as PGR Rep, I'm proud to share the below statement from W+IGS and stand with all those advocating for inclusivity in academia.

As a non-binary PhD student, W+IGS has always been a welcoming space where I feel supported and valued.

W+IGS Statement on Inclusion, Equity, and Respect

W+IGS continues to advocate for gender equity, challenge exclusionary practices, and ensure that our own spaces remain welcoming, affirming and safe for all.

#WomenInGermanStudies #Inclusion #Equity #GenderDiversity #GenderJustice #GermanStudies
W+IGS Statement on Inclusion, Equity, and Respect In light of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling clarifying the legal definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010, W+IGS reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive space for scholars of all minoritised genders within German Studies. Our commitment to inclusivity means recognising the diversity of gender identities and experiences within our community and affirming the right of all individuals to self-identify and to live free from discrimination, erasure, or exclusion. The recent UK Supreme Court ruling concerning the legal definition of “woman” exhibits a form of biological determinism, prioritising biological sex over lived gender identity, that does not align with our values and practices as an association. In recent years, we have adopted the name Women+ in German Studies (Wissenschaftler:innen in German Studies) to better reflect our association’s commitment to inclusivity, and to acknowledge that the community we serve extends beyond cisgender women to include trans, non-binary, and gender diverse scholars. We recognize that gender identity is a fundamental aspect of human dignity, and that trans women are an integral part of our academic community. We believe that academic spaces and society at large are strengthened by recognising and valuing diversity, and we oppose any form of stereotyping or marginalization. W+IGS will continue to advocate for gender equity, challenge exclusionary practices, and ensure that our own spaces remain welcoming, affirming, and safe for all.

Posting about events only after they happen feels like showing off. Let's announce before to include more people-both in person and online. Let’s move away from exclusive academic culture and make space for everyone. #InclusiveAcademia #CommunityMatters #EventAccessibility

🗓️ Our next online event will focus on mobility injustices for at-risk scholars, join us on 12 February at 16:30 CET!

acking Mobility Injustices: Building a Fairer Europe for At-risk Scholars. 12 February 2025, 16:30 CET. Zoom event. Across Europe, many scholars at risk face a myriad of mobility injustices that hinder their ability to secure stable academic positions, harness opportunities, and build fulfilling careers. Fragile refugee statuses, fears of stigma, and the overwhelming complexities of obtaining visas or legal documentation often force these indivisuals into precarious employment or limit their prospects entirely. Speakers: Vera Axyonova, Assistant Professor/Lecturer in European Politics, University of Birmingham; Reda Mahajar, Part-time Lecturer in Sociology, University of Antwerp; Asli Telli, Associate Researcher at the Global South Studies Center, Cologne University; Mohamed Bakhit, Postdoctoral Fellow at Phillipp Schwartz Initiative for Researchers at Risk.
