In her keynote address at the event “Szenenwechsel – Diversität in Kultur und Bildung” (“Change of Scene – Diversity in Culture and Education”) organized by the Berlin Project Fund for Cultural Education, Maisha-Maureen Auma approaches the topic of diversity from a perspective critical of domination. Diversity forms an important basis for work critical of discrimination – not only in the field of cultural education.
In her trenchant presentation, the researcher points out that measures to create diversity are not “feel-good politics.” Instead, she argues for understanding diversity as a frontal assault. The latter radically opposes all forms of discrimination and dominance and thus aims at social equality in the sense of catching up justice.
