Reading with Stefanie Lohaus and Presentation of the Gender Prize 2024
Stefanie Lohaus will read from her book "Stärker als Wut: Wie wir feministisch wurden und wieso es nicht reicht", creating a wonderful setting for the presentation of the FH Potsdam Gender Award 2024.
Feminism is the most successful social movement in history. In her book "Stärker als Wut", Stefanie Lohaus looks at the past, present and future from a German perspective: Where does feminism come from and where is it going? What has been achieved, what still needs to be fought for?
Stefanie Lohaus (co-founder and co-editor of the feminist Missy Magazine) impressively describes five decades of this world-changing endeavour. Her book is a comprehensive testimony to the power and powerlessness of change, a cross-generational portrait and a trend-setting appeal.
The reading forms the framework for the awarding of the Gender Prize 2024 of the FH Potsdam to Esra-Paul Afken for his master's thesis entitled "Digitale Repräsentation historischer Geschlechtsidentitäten. Recording and scientific indexing of the photographic collection of the former Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin with the open source software Omeka S".
For many years, the Gender Prize of the FH Potsdam has honoured outstanding theses that deal with gender aspects of the respective subject area and the social background in a well-founded manner and demonstrate originality and sensitivity.
All members of the university are cordially invited to participate.
