Anja got elected Diversity Representative

Today, our team assistant Anja Brüll got elected Diversity Representative of the Faculty of Computer Science. Her deputies are Annika Wenke, team assistant at the chair “Computing and Society” (Bilal Zafar), and Anastasia Kolovou, student in the Bachelor program “IT Security”. Together as a team, they are the point of contact for all (anti-)discrimination issues, with a particular focus on intersectionality.

It is a personal concern of mine to make the complexity of diversity and forms of discrimination visible, to create general awareness and to contribute to greater sensitivity. We also see ourselves as a contact point for counselling members of the faculty affected by discrimination, as an open ear with a non-judgemental and sensitive approach to each person’s individual issues.
