In cooperation with the Equal Opportunities, Family and Diversity Office and the Center for Higher Education, the Equal Opportunities Office launched the Secretarial Management Network in 2011. It invites employees from chair secretariats, dean's offices and other administrative areas of the departments and institutions of TU Dortmund University as well as employees of the central administration. In addition to information on key topics, the network meetings provide a space for the exchange of knowledge and experience. The network meets two to three times a year. The topics of the meetings are determined by the participants themselves and are based on current needs.
Information on the departments' activities to reduce structural disadvantages for women and to combat existing or foreseeable gender disparities can be found in the decentralized equality concepts.

Our queerfeminist glossary #klargestellt offers an aid to understanding terms relating to gender and sexual orientation. The queerfeminist glossary presents a selection of terms, most of which refer to people's gender and sexuality, without any claim to completeness. It is intended to encourage people to question their own use of language in everyday life and in the university context, to expand their knowledge and to show how language can be used in a way that is critical of discrimination.
With our feminist and queer calendar, we bring you up to date on current, local and international action and holidays with a focus on queerfeminist issues and perspectives.
