“Diversity – Limits and Opportunities”- Introducing Our Table Hosts

“Diversity” seems to be all around us, but what does it really mean? What do people imagine when they are asking for a more diverse society? How can we approach aspects of diversity like gender, intersectionality, migration, or gentrification? What can we learn from communities worldwide?

Find out what diversity is all about and discuss your questions at the sixth WeberWorldCafé „Diversity – Limits and Opportunities“ taking place on November 24th, 2016, from 3 – 6pm at Alte Mensa, Georg-August-University Göttingen.

The Max Weber Foundation promotes global research, focused on the areas of social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities. Our research is conducted at ten institutes in various countries across the globe with different and independent fields of focus. Through our globally operating institutes, we are able to contribute to the communication and networking between Germany and our host countries or regions. By promoting academic dialogue and merging academic and non-academic employees from several countries with different cultural backgrounds, the Max Weber Foundation is able to strengthen the internationalization of research.
