The organizers Prof.in Dr.in Eva Labouvie and Dr.in Mareike Fingerhut-Säck would like to present the lecture series "Gender - Nature - Culture - Environment. Interweavings of Gender, Ecology, Climate and Sustainability" to shed light on the manifold aspects and interweavings of the category gender with "doing gender". Climate change, environmental disasters or crises of sustainability are by no means gender neutral. Women, men, and diverse people contribute in different ways, deal with their impacts in different ways, and are unequally affected by their consequences. Thus, questions about the interconnections between gender and climate or environmental crises, and decidedly gendered perspectives, are almost imperative. Likewise, questions can be asked about the connections between gender or gender order and environmental diseases, environmental factors, sustainability, resource distributions, ecological rights, or about gender aspects in environmental and climate protection or design, up to and including the positions of a much-discussed ecofeminism.

Students of all disciplines as well as staff members are invited to attend the lecture series. The public event is also aimed at representatives of gender studies, gender equality officers and all regional actors in the field of gender and diversity.

The lecture series starts on October 10, 2022 and takes place on Mondays from 1:15 to 2:45 pm via Zoom. Registration is via LSF. The program can be found here.

The ZSM symposium (formerly "Nachwuchstagung") sees itself in the tradition of the Magdeburg Method Workshop as a conference with research workshop character. This takes place in a protected space. Here empirical, theoretical as well as conceptual contributions can be tested with critical constructive feedback from peers. The exchange of ideas is in the foreground.
We explicitly invite scholars in qualification phases and beyond permanent professorships (students, doctoral candidates and postdocs) from different disciplines to submit a contribution proposal on this year's conference topic from the context of their own research work and to discuss it together with other conference participants.
This year's 12th ZSM conference will be held in Magdeburg on November 11 & 12, 2022 on the topic of "Ideal Images of Research and Scientific Careers under Discussion" and will be hosted by Stefanie Hoffmann, Dr.in Sandra Tiefel and Verena Walterbach.

The Heinrich Böll Foundation is organizing a network conference in Berlin on October 17 and 18, 2022. The main topics as well as the contents are to be jointly designed by or with participants, which is why the foundation is asking for knowledge and experiences from both research and (civil society) practice.

At the network conference, there will be spaces to reflect on different ways of dealing with anti-feminist hostility and attitudes in one's own private, professional, voluntary, political or activist realities with people from different contexts. In addition, the organizers want to jointly develop strategies for dealing with antifeminism and sexism.

The network conference consists of lectures/impulses, workshops, reflection rounds and a "marketplace" to present one's own work.

Focus issue 1/2024 of the Journal of Diversity Research and Management.

The focus of this special issue is on how concern for self and others is linked to diversity and social inequalities and is perceived, negotiated, and addressed by society, organizations, collective advocacy groups, and employees.

We therefore welcome contributions that address the following (and other topics, if you like), among others:

Organizations, Diversity & Care Policy
- How is "care" addressed as part of a diversity strategy by public and private sector organizations? (e.g., work-life balance measures or care for dependents, or corporate health management).  
- How do organizations ensure the preservation, improvement and (re-)establishment of the  
How do organizations ensure the maintenance, improvement and (re)creation of the working ability of persons with multiple disabilities and/or chronic illnesses who have been discriminated against?
- What measures support the mental and physical health of persons with double and multiple stresses in organizations?
- How do employers support employees with care responsibilities? To what extent do organizations take into account the intersectionally unequal distribution of caring, providing and nursing activities (e.g. in socio-economically weak households, among single parents)?

University in care professions  
- What intersectional inequalities do employees in care professions face and what strategies do they develop to deal with them?  
- What strategies do employees in social and personal service professions develop to deal with the diversity of customers, patients and clients?

Care & diversity from the perspective of employees  
- To what extent can e.g. gender, age, ethnicity, class be seen as a risk but also as a resource for self and care?  
resources for self-care and care in the context of gainful employment?  
- How are organizational care offerings (e.g., health care, reintegration, reconciliation) used according to intersectional inequalities?

For the category "Research Outlines and Positions", ideas and drafts for research projects as well as pointed statements and (preferably provocative) positions can be submitted. Such contributions should be between 12,000 and 15,000 characters (including spaces). We also expressly welcome practical contributions on this topic, also in the range of 12,000 to max. 15,000 characters (incl. spaces).

Historical anthropology deals with the human horizons of experience in their historical manifestations. In doing so, it understands humans as interpreting and acting beings and perceives them as a decisive factor for historical dynamics and the course of history. This research perspective runs through the volume as a guiding principle and structures the epistemological interest of the contributions. On the basis of the topics of everyday life, body and emotions, the authors provide exemplary insights into the human being(s) in the modern era, which is ostensibly brought into focus here in the sense of cultural history in its specificity, complexity and dependence on nature, society and cultural tradition. The thematic richness of facets - from women at sea, the fear of thunderstorms, or the principles of training male obstetricians, to images of the body in 18th-century lists of thieves, to the rejection of female physicians by male physicians - not only reflects the remarkable range of Eva Labouvie's research interests, to whom this book is dedicated on the occasion of her 65th birthday, but also demonstrates, as it were, the diversity and connectivity of a modern historiography oriented toward cultural studies and gender history.

Russia's attack on Ukraine keeps Europe in suspense and triggers many questions and camp conflicts between further countries and also within individual states. On the occasion of the Anti-War Day on September 1, gender-blog asked peace and conflict researcher Victoria Scheyer what perspectives feminist research has on the topic, and also addressed peacemaking and conflict resolution options.

In 2021, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency recorded 5617 reports of discrimination under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). This is the second highest number of reported discrimination cases since the Anti-Discrimination Agency was founded in 2006. Racial discrimination was reported particularly frequently, followed by discrimination based on disability and chronic illness. At 28 percent, working life ranked second among the areas in which the most cases were reported. Daily commitment to diversity, tolerance and inclusion remains essential. But: the high number of reported cases also shows that more and more people know their rights and defend themselves against discrimination.
