• Macht Geschlecht den Unterschied?
  In der medizinischen Praxis wird Geschlecht häufig eher unbewusst wahrgenommen, obwohl es einen oft entscheidenden Einfluss auf das professionelle Handeln im Versorgungssystem haben kann. Deshalb ist es wichtig, die sozialen Mechanismen von Geschlecht bereits im Medizinstudium einmal genauer zu beleuchten und angehende Ärzt*innen für diese soziale Kategorie zu sensibilisieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben sich Medizinstudierende des zweiten Semesters während eines Praktikums im Studienfach „Medizinische Soziologie“ unter leitung von Julia Piel im Sommersemester in insgesamt 8 Projekten mit Zusammenhängen von Medizin, Gesundheit und Geschlecht auseinandergesetzt. Die Ergebnisse ihrer Projekte stellten sie am 12. Juli 2018 im Foyer der Mensa  auf dem Medizincampus im Rahmen eines interaktiven Glossars vor.
  
  
  
• Philosophinnen-Ausstellung
• Die Ausstellung Philosophinnen zeigt den Beitrag von Philosophinnen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart und beleuchtet das Feld der Philosophiegeschichte aus weiblicher Perspektive. Noch bis 1993 war in keinem Philosophielexikon etwas von Frauen in der Philosophie zu lesen, wobei diese in allen Epochen ebenso vertreten waren. Die Wanderausstellung ist seit der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaft am 02. Juni 2018 im Erdgeschoss des Gebäudes 22 der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg zu sehen und kann noch weitere vier Wochen besucht werden. Der Dornrosa e.V. in Halle stellt die Wanderausstellung zur Verfügung.

• Office for Gender Equality informs university public about equal opportunities
  
  The BfG pursues the establishment of equal opportunities for equal participation of all university members in studies, research and administration, regardless of gender, through work in the committees of the OVGU, in working groups and networks within and outside the university, as an advisory centre for personnel matters in matters of equal opportunities and not least through the acquisition of third-party funding and the implementation of funding measures (cf. HSG LSA § 72 Equal Opportunities Officer).
  
  In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education Act, the Senate was presented with highlights from 2017 and challenges for 2018 with regard to equal opportunities.
  
  
  
  >>>Detailed information on the status and perspectives of equal opportunities at Otto-von-Guericke University can be found here.

• On Friday, June 2, 2017, Prof. Dr. med. Maike Vollmer's inargual lecture on the topic: Temporal Plasticity in the Deaf Auditory System Induced by Electric Cochlear Stimulation took place in the central lecture hall of building 22 on the Campus Universitätsmedizin.
  
  Prof. Vollmer is the current holder of the Dorothea Erxleben Visiting Professorship. Using electrophysiological and neuroanatomical techniques, Prof. Vollmer investigates the influence of auditory experience and learning on the development and plasticity of neuronal signal processing in the developing and adult central auditory system. She is particularly interested in the effects of unilateral and bilateral deafness and in the development of stimulation and training strategies that enable targeted plastic reorganization and restoration in the neuronal processing of auditory signals. One aim of their studies is to develop clinically relevant concepts for hearing rehabilitation in hearing loss and deafness.
  
  The event was opened by the rector of the OVGU, Prof. Dr. Jens Strackeljan. Subsequently, the Dean of the Medical Faculty, Prof. Dr. Hermann-Josef Rothkötter, spoke. Both found extremely esteeming words for the excellent research of Prof. Vollmer.
  
  It was also made clear that equality measures, including the Dorothea Erxleben professorship, are valued as an important instrument for increasing the competitiveness and attractiveness of the OVGU at the level of the university management.

• Important survey on the subject of discrimination in Germany:The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, the Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration and the Federal Government Commissioner for the Interests of Persons with Disabilities jointly call for participation in the largest survey on experiences of discrimination ever launched in Germany.
  
  The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency's counselling experience shows that discrimination can occur in practically all population groups. People are discriminated against on the basis of their disability, origin, gender, skin colour or sexual or religious orientation. To date, however, there is no precise overview of the many experiences of discrimination suffered by people in Germany.
  
  The data collected will be made available to the public in 2016 and will be included in the report to the German Bundestag, which the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency and the Federal Government Commissioner will submit in 2017. The report also formulates recommendations for political and practical action.

          You can reach the survey via  this Link and on the right in the marginal area of this page.
          The survey is available in seven languages.

  Please note that participation is only possible until 30 November 2015.

  If you have any questions or comments, the BfG will be happy to help.
