Workshop Inhalte

Der Alltag in der Wissenschaft ist so schon herausfordernd! Rassifizierten Menschen werden regelmäßig extra Grenzen aufgezeigt – auch innerhalb der eigenen Disziplin. Ob Forschungsgegenstände und -lücken, oder einfach der Umgang mit Kolleg:innen im hierarchischen Setting. Du suchst das Allheilmittel dagegen? Wir auch. Während es weiter brodelt in der Gemeinschaftsküche konzentrieren wir uns auf das, worauf wir jetzt schon Einfluss haben: Wir kommen zusammen, sammeln Kraft und polieren unsere Stärken. Wir bündeln und teilen unsere Strategien im Umgang mit Rassismus im Alltag und am Arbeitsplatz. Bist du mit dabei?

Content:

Everyday life as a scientist is challenging. At the same time racialized scientists encounter additional barriers – both within and without their particular discipline. Whether it be research topics or gaps, or encounters with colleagues in a hierarchical setting. Are you looking for a panacea? So are we. But while the fight for systemic change continues, let us, for now, focus on our more immediate context: By coming together and showing up for each other we’ll gather our strengths and share our strategies for dealing with racism in everyday life and in the workplace. Sounds interesting? Come and join us!

The trainers:

Joanna Mechnich works on the topics of racism critique, intersectionality, empowerment and Afrofuturism. In this work, Joanna accompanies people in dealing with and dealing with their own entanglement in social power structures. For Joanna, empowerment is an inseparable part of this work. Afrofuturism is a passion and perspective for Joanna. https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-mechnich-158531101/

Outside of academic research, suitability predictions about candidates are only made to a small extent on the basis of previous professional training and qualifications. Personality traits and the ability to interact with others play an important role.
The aim of this workshop is to make participants aware of what is expected of them and why they need to prepare for it. They will be given an overview of different career options in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Fields of activity and job profiles will be presented in more detail based on their requirements for the personality of the job holder. In the second part, participants are supported in examining their own personality profile and motives in order to decide which activities suit them best.

To discuss your very own career path, an individual coaching can be booked as a follow up to the workshop. (Cost will be covered by your research network.)

The trainer

Gaby Schilling holds a PhD in chemistry and a BSc. in psychology. She worked for over 17 years in various management positions at a DAX 30 company in Germany and the USA, leading teams of experts and managers and gaining extensive experience in all phases of working with employees - from recruitment to development, promotion and promotion to change. Ms. Schilling has supplemented her practical experience with training as a business, career and team coach, trainer and e-tutor.
