Accessibility, Deaf Culture, Discrimination, Domination, IntersectionalityAbstract
The essay reflects on the project “Empowering University: Implementing Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination,” which was carried out by Verein Gender/Queer e.V. (under the direction of the author) as part of the annual conference “membra(I)nes” of the Gender Studies Association (Germany) 2023. This is done using two online padlets that were created in advance and to document the project and the conference. The content deals with the possibilities and limitations of accessibility as well as practical intersectional criticism of power structures and anti-discrimination at an academic and artistic-research conference. Sign language interpretation and the inclusion of Deaf participants play a particularly important role.
