Previous Gender Lectures (UR and OTH R)
On 16.12.2025, 17:15 -18:45, Lea Susemichel (author, journalist, lecturer) spoke about "Feminist Solidarities".
Abstract of the lecture: "There is not one feminism, there are many feminisms and feminists, which entails differences and often dissonance. This has not only led to identity-political divisions in the history of women's movements, it is also currently making alliances more difficult, which we so urgently need in view of the enormous political backlash. How can solidarity be created despite the many feminist fault lines?
By recognising that it doesn't have to be common ground that motivates solidarity. On the contrary: feminist solidarity is often formed through conflict, it is an unconditional solidarity that also shows solidarity with people with whom we have no common history or ascribed identity. It is a "solidarity of struggle", not only in the sense of "solidarity against", which is united against inhumanity and inequality, but which also fights for more justice within its own ranks. Solidarity is always a reciprocal process of building new relationships that changes everyone involved - a profoundly transformative process."
The lecture was followed by a get-together with the guests and the speaker.

On 23.11.2023, 16:15, H6, Dr Dorothee Beck, Philipps-Universität Marburg, opened the lecture series "Gender Lectures Regensburg". In the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, she spoke on the topic of "Gender-based violence in politics - a feminist look at a little-researched problem".
The lecture focussed on the connection between violence and gender in the German Bundestag. In order to grasp this problem, Dr Beck used various concepts to analyse the tension between violence and gender-based inequality in everyday political life. Using various examples, she established a link to violence studies, anti-feminism and democracy theory and discussed intersectional entanglements of gender with other dimensions of inequality.
