10 Minute Lectures

Since 2016, the Gender and Diversity Research Network has hosted a series of short lectures, just 10 minutes in length, providing brief insights into research carried out at Leuphana University of Lüneburg on gender and diversity.

 

Between 2016 and 2020, the lecture series ‘10 Minutes – that make a difference’ [10 Minuten – die den Unterschied machen] was held weekly. Details of individual lectures can be found by via the following links: Winter Semester 2016/17; Summer Semester 2017; Winter Semester 2017/18; Summer Semester 2018; Winter Semester 2018/19; Summer Semester 2019.

 

In the 2019/20 winter semester, the ‘10 Minutes – that make a difference’ lecture series had the thematic focus: ‘Anti-feminism? Anti-genderism? Anti-what…?’ The 2020 summer semester ‘10 Minutes’ lecture series was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with several members of the Gender and Diversity Research Network contributing instead to the Leuphana Home Sessions online lecture series. The ‘10 Minutes – that make a difference’ lecture series was relaunched as a fortnightly event in the 2020/21 winter semester.

 

Since 2021, the 10-minute lecture series format has been modified, with thematic workshops bringing together members of the Gender and Diversity Research Network and other interested members of the university community for a series of 10-minute lectures, followed by a discussion. In the 2021 summer semester, the first such thematic workshop was organised around the topic of ‘Resilience’, with lectures by, and a discussion with, Sarah Martiny (UiT, Arctic University of Norway) and (from Leuphana University of Lüneburg,): Lars Alberth, Katharina Kapitza and Jan Müggenburg. In the 2021/22 winter semester, the workshop addressed the question of ‘Solidarity’. It included lectures by, and a discussion with, Hannah Trittin-Ulbrich, Solvejg Wolfers-Pommerenke, Angelika Henschel and Serhat Karakayali (all from Leuphana University of Lüneburg).
