Moderation: Dr. Silke Wenzel, HfMT

The concluding lecture series "Equality" is dedicated to gender and diversity studies and their significance for Music and Drama: How can the predominantly male and Western-influenced musical canon be expanded? Which compositions and composers are still to be discovered and, above all, how can a change of perspective succeed in musical practice, teaching and research at a university of music and drama?

The panel will include Antonia Brinkers, Josephina Lucke (Feminale Team), Prof. Dr. Susanne Naumann (School Music) and Prof. Ruta Paidere (Composition/Music Theory), moderated by Dr. Silke Wenzel.

Diversity Study Weeks

Under the motto Diversity can Inspire, the HfMT is organizing the Diversity Study Weeks in the winter semester 2023/24. Together we celebrate diversity, because it is not just a buzzword, but the heart of our interaction and creative development at an artistic and academic university.

During the six Study Weeks, we will deal with the following topics: Inclusion, classism, proximity & distance, anti-discrimination and participation in education, coloniality and equality for women, inter-, trans- and non-binary people. To this end, we have organized panels, artistic events, lecture series, seminars and much more. These events enrich the range of courses on offer and are open not only to all students, but also to lecturers and staff at the university and, in some cases, external visitors. Come along!

Embedded in the Study Weeks is a lecture series on intersectional topics. Through an artistic-scientific approach, the lecture series aims to raise awareness of the diversity present at the HfMT in all its forms, as well as to identify gaps in diversity and investigate their causes.
