Im Rahmen meiner Bachelorarbeit befasste ich mich anhand des Beispiels Endometriose mit genderbasierter Diskriminierung in der westlichen Medizin. Durch die filmische Inszenierung von Endometriose als fiktiver Männerkrankheit wird die Diskriminierung deutlich gemacht. Mit meiner Bachelorarbeit will ich einen Beitrag zur Aufklärungsarbeit leisten und Forderungen stellen.

Europe “lies flat”: The shifting meanings of the Chinese word tangping
Tangping (躺平), which can be directly translated as “lying flat”, began as a criticism of overworking culture in Chinese companies. It has now evolved into describing Europe’s way of tackling COVID-19. The way in which this term is being contested in public and popular discourse in China reveals how various groups attempt to advance particular visions of the Chinese society’s development.

„Whatever happens, we will continue to engage in the civil disobedience movement until the end. We have to resist because we can’t leave our future generations under military rule” (The Irrawaddy 2021). Diese Aussage stammt von einer Person, die zu den wissenschaftlichen Assistierenden an der Yangon University gehörte.

Wissen in Bewegung, oder: „auf einmal waren es nicht mehr nur der Text und ich“
Nimmt man sich dem Unterfangen an, wissenschaftliche Analysen aus der Universität hinauszutragen, stellen sich unmittelbar ganz konkrete Probleme und Fragen. Im (öffentlichen) Dialog begegnet man einer Vielfalt an Stimmen, deren Sprechakte unterschiedlich legitimiert, und mit divergierenden Intentionen aufgeladen sind. Alltagskategorien treffen auf analytische Betrachtungsweisen, Meinungen auf Lesarten, Aktivismus auf Erfahrung, Likes auf Shitstorms.

Pandemic Perspectives - Part I -
International Scholars Reflect on their Experiences of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Switzerland
While the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent ‘lockdown’ in Switzerland has been a challenging time for everyone, it has been particularly demanding for those who are (far) away from home.

Canon-making within Social and Cultural Anthropology in Zurich and Beyond
In March 2019, all lecturers at the department of social and cultural anthropology at the University of Zurich received a letter from a group of concerned students. The letter was written in the context of Women's day on the 8th of March and in preparation for the Swiss-wide Frauenstreik (Women's Strike) on June 14th 2019. The letter pointed out structural issues related to gender inequality at the department.

Ein ethnologischer Kommentar zu Sebastião Salgados Fotografie-Ausstellung Genesis
Genesis. Ein wuchtiger Titel für wuchtige Bilder. Die Salgados sparten nicht an Dramaturgie, an Romantik und an Ästhetik. Das taten sie selten. Sebastião Salgado, ein Mann der Extreme. Während er sich in seiner bisherigen Fotografie intensiv den negativen Konsequenzen der westlichen Zivilisation gewidmet und Elend und Armut einer Weltöffentlichkeit vor Augen geführt hatte, versucht er nun mit Genesis, die «Schönheit [unseres verwundbaren Planeten] greifbar zu machen»
