Vorlesungsverzeichnis Gender und Diversität

Saidiya Hartman holds a microphone and gives a keynote speech at a lectern.

In the summer semester 2025, TU Dortmund University will once again be offering many courses on the structural and analytical categories of "gender" and "diversity".

For the upcoming summer semester, the Equal Opportunities Office has once again compiled a course catalog with courses on the topics of "gender" and "diversity". A total of 32 courses have been registered that will deal with "gender" or "diversity" as structural and analytical categories in the coming summer semester. The breadth and variety of topics is again very large this time. The content of the courses ranges from sex, gender and queer theories, migration and racism to religion as well as inclusion, age and disability.

To the course catalog Gender and Diversity (in German) (PDF)

On the cover: Saidiya Hartman

Saidiya Hartman is an American literary scholar and author who examines the history of the African diaspora, slavery, and its lasting repercussions. Born in 1961, she currently teaches at Columbia University and is regarded as one of the most influential voices in African-American history. With her theories on the “afterlife of slavery,” Hartman established a new perspective on the enduring impact of slavery. Her works, including Scenes of Subjection (1997) and Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments (2019), explore how structures of violence, oppression, and resistance manifest in the everyday lives of Black people, particularly among women and queer individuals. Her concept of “critical fabulation” combines historical analysis with literary writing to question the gaps and distortions in colonial archives and to open up new perspectives on marginalized life narratives.

Those interested in topics like this should not miss out on the seminar “Enslavement and Resistance“ offered by the Department of Cultural Studies this semester. It will deal with the history and contemporary cultural significance of slavery in the USA by examining texts with similar themes to Saidiya Hartman’s.
