"The practice of racism does not depend on white people's good or bad feelings or intentions toward Black people and people of colour.
Racism is a system that continuously places whiteness at the center...." (Kuria 2015,19)
Racism is a daily occurrence for students of color at German universities. Through my job at the university, I have come into contact with many students from different disciplines and in a wide variety of life situations who are discriminated against by racism at universities.
This event is about their experiences and strategies in relation to racism in the German higher education system.
