Racism #2 - "We asked for workers, what came were people"

"We are not going to talk about diversity for the rest of our
lives. Eventually this has to stick - it has to become embedded
in the institutions"





Our first episode in English! – This Time, Selma and Sarah met
with Prof. Gökçe Yurdakul, professor at the Department of
Diversity and Social Conflict (Department of Social Sciences,
Humboldt University). Prof. Yurdakul does research on migration
and citizenship and has written several books, one of them
concerning the headscarf debate. We talked about the general
topic of migrant women in leadership positions which is
significant for talking about intersectionality. Part of the
conversation were also different feminisms, diversity at the work
place and the importance of role models. Two role models Prof.
Yurdakul mentioned and who we recommend following on social media
are Kübra Gümüşay (author of “Sprache und Sein”) and Sawsan
Chebli (SPD politician). We hope you enjoy this episode!
