Diversity and Teaching

Welcome to the webpage Diversity and Teaching of the Department of History and Cultural Studies!

Equal access to education requires sensitivity and

respect for all members of the university.

In view of the demographic development, the new educational situation, increased mobility, changing social settings and concepts like “life-long learning”, the composition of the student body is changing constantly. We will have to come to accept plurality as the standard. Diversity is everywhere, also in teaching. How can we meet the requirements of the plethora of individual biographies (sociocultural backgrounds, individual styles and types of learning, gender-specific aspects, various language skills, having to take care of children/relatives or the necessity to finance their studies, etc.)? How can we generate an atmosphere of appreciation of all students and facilitate as well as support their diversity?

On the  following websites you will find suggestions on how to deal with the increasing diversity of the student body.

We look forward to your feedback and recommendations on organizing classes with a heterogeneous student body.
