Leadership Skills and Gender Differences (Seminar)

Termin:
14-täglich | Freitag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 12.015 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Can everyone be a good leader? For sure not, but we can improve some of our skills to be better ones. During the course, students can explore themselves in the context of leadership. I will propose exercises and workshops to find some gaps and space to improve yourself. The emphasis in the course is on the practice of leadership. The course will examine topics such as understanding leadership, recognising leadership traits, engaging people’s strengths, understanding philosophy and styles, attending to tasks and relationships, developing leadership skills, and creating a vision. In discussing the topics, great emphasis is placed on the issues of gender diversity and gender differences. Students will assess their leadership traits and skills to improve their own leadership performance. During each seminar, we will start with a test or questionnaire to assess some of your traits or skills. All of those results will create your leadership portfolio.

Empowering women (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Agnieszka Turska-Kawa

Termin:
14-täglich | Donnerstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 7.319 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This course is an invitation to think seriously about empowerment—not as a motivational slogan, but as a complex psychological, social, and political process. We will analyze where women's agency comes from, why it can be systemically blocked, and what makes it flourish in some contexts and fade in others, despite "good intentions." The course combines psychology, leadership, and social practice. We are interested not only in what limits women, but also in how these limitations are internalized. At the same time, we examine strategies that help women (individually and collectively) regain their voice, autonomy, and influence. This course is based on concrete experiences and methods. Classes include work with academic texts, workshops, and discussions.
