Workshop on Abuse of Power in Academia:
Online-Workshop on a protection concept for the AFK

28 October 2025; 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

In the online workshop on 28 October from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we will follow up on the results of the risk analysis at the colloquium in Landau. The aim of the workshop is to develop a common position and clarity on key aspects of the protection concept and its scope. How can preventive structures be established and implemented in the AFK, and how can certainty be created for affected individuals and those around them? Based on the risk factors and prevention ideas that have been collected, we will work in small groups to develop concrete structural proposals.
The workshop will be held in spoken German. Breaks and small group phases are planned to keep the workshop lively, even in the longer online format. Participation in the workshop at the colloquium is helpful, but not a prerequisite for participation in the online workshop.

Speakers: Nuan and Saraina from the educational collective fem*ergenz in Würzburg.

The third workshop on ‘Abuse of power in academia: Developing sustainable and inclusive solutions and prevention mechanisms’ is the third part of a series that builds on the discussions and results of the workshop ‘Abuse of power in science – From individual support to institutional change.’ This took place in March as part of the last AFK colloquium. The workshop is organised and run by the education collective fem*ergenz and the AFK Women*FLINTA representatives.

The workshop is open to all AFK members and interested individuals. We hope to see a broad and inclusive representation of members from different generations, gender identities and socio-cultural backgrounds participating in the discussion.

The workshop will be held in German. However, we will provide English translations for some parts.

Registration is not required. You can receive the access link via the mailing list of the Womens Peace Research Network or upon request by sending an email to frauenbeauftragte@afk-web.de
