Intersectional approaches to anti-sexism and anti-racism in German universities: A case study
In this article, we analyze anti-sexism and anti-racism work at universities from the perspective of institutional analysis. Our theoretical background is based in feminist institutional theory. The websites of a Higher Education Institution are viewed as a self-image of the university consisting of information on anti-discrimination on campus. The case study sheds light on broader anti-discrimination work at European Research Area (ERA). The challenge for diversity policy is to effectively address anti-racism and anti-sexism by explicitly naming and combating racializing and sexist discourses and structures.
