This format aims at the scientific exchange between gender-oriented Science and Technology Studies (STS) and interested researchers with a focus on STEM disciplines. GeDiMINT offers (small) conferences and an ongoing series of lectures, which will be made available online and shall serve as a growing resource of knowledge. Showing the necessity of such events aims at promoting decentralized dialogue initiatives.
Conferences
Three conferences are held every two years (2024, 2026 und 2028).
The 2024 kick-off will focus on the needs of researchers at TU Braunschweig.
The two subsequent conferences (2026, 2028) will present specific TU research projects, with private sector research and development being included in 2026.
Lecture series
Starting in winter semester 2024/25, a dialogue series with three lectures or panel discussions per semester will be held, some of which will be held in digital and hybrid formats.
There will also an online lecture by Prof. Londa Schiebinger (Stanford University) on her project “Gendered Innovations” and why it is important to implement gender dimensions in STEM research. You are welcome to suggest potential speakers and topics. Please write to us at gedimint@tu-braunschweig.de.
