Interdisciplinary research conference by and for young scientists* of the OVGU

"Disciplinary Research through a Gender and Diversity Lens"

 

On 27.05.2020 the Interdisciplinary Research Conference by and for young scientists* of the OVGU will take place, organized by the Faculty of Human Sciences in cooperation with the Office for Equal Opportunities of the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg.

Technology, work, education and health are only a few of the fields in which behavior patterns and needs differ by biological and social gender and diversity characteristics. This variation is increasingly reflected in a wide range of research, from barrier-free urban planning to age-appropriate digitisation and technologisation to gender-specific medication. The aim of the Young Scientists* Conference is to facilitate an interdisciplinary exchange between researchers who take an ex- or implicit look at gender and/or diversity from their respective disciplinary perspectives.

We welcome all abstracts,

  • that explicitly focus on gender in their research (e.g. Gender mainstreaming in a comparative perspective, gender as an independent characteristic or part of diversity?)
  • that place an explicit focus on diversity in their research (e.g. Religious diversity and social integration, age-appropriate working environment(s) and/or learning concepts)
  • that focus on a specific group or characteristic in their research (e.g. Discrimination against men in childcare, the characteristics of a female heart attack, making the Internet available to people with visual impairment)
  • that compare between groups or characteristics in their research (e.g. Gender Pay Gap, Educational successes of people with and without a migration background)
  • or a combination thereof.


All junior researchers* (including post-docs*) at the OVGU are invited to present findings from ongoing or completed research in their respective discipline at the Young Scientiests* Conference "Disciplinary Research with a View to Gender and Diversity". Applicants* have the opportunity to present their research in the form of short presentations and scientific posters.

Contributions from researchers from all fields of research are welcome, for example:

  • computer science
  • (including MINT areas)
  • product development
  • labour market and labour market research
  • health and care research
  • medicine and neuroscience
  • economy
  • media education
  • humanities, social sciences and educational sciences
  • and many more
