Race, gender and sexuality at Bebel Platz
The first teaching day of my Erasmus Visit to the Transdisciplinary Gender Studies Institute at the Humboldt University in Berlin got off to a good start yesterday. The first session was held at Bebel Platz, opposite the main building of the University on the famous Unter den Linden. We met the students and picked up a megaphone and went to the Platz where we settled on the steps of the Church. Amused tourists passed by, literally walking over the students to get into the church. The point of all this?

I am engaged in an Erasmus Teaching Visit to the Institute for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies at the Humboldt University from June 15-19. Due to a national education strike being called in Germany this week, the seminars will be held in public spaces on the Humboldt University site.
The first seminar will address Race, Gender and Sexuality (Wednesday June 17th at 16h00) and The Concept and Construction of Race including a short reading from my book, Racism (Friday June 19th at 12h45).
I will also be speaking on Europe and the Silence about Race at the Centre Marc Bloch on Monday June 22nd at 3pm. More information here.
