Gender-appropriate language in research and teaching

Language influences the way people think and act. Racist, classist and gender-specific discrimination can - knowingly or unknowingly - be (re-)produced through language.

Because we are convinced on the basis of the biblical testimony that every person has the same dignity, we are committed to the goal of "increasingly recognising the fundamental equality of all people" (GS 29).

One building block towards this goal is the endeavour to make all genders visible in our university work, not only in real terms, but also linguistically.

We therefore recommend that all students who write seminar papers or qualification theses at our department read the handout on the use of gender-equitable language (external link, opens in a new window) and, of course, also endeavour to use gender-equitable wording in all our publications and courses.


Qualification theses
