Prof. Leišytė presented the InterHEd project at New York University

Prof. Leišytė, from our team at TU Dortmund University and member from the Professorship of Higher Education (HdHf) at the very same university presented the InterHEd project at the I-Cafe organized by the Intersectionality Lab (I-Lab) of the NYU School of Professional Studies. The presentation explored how mainstreaming intersectionality in teaching and learning at universities contributes to more inclusive and diverse universities – and thus to better well-being for students and teachers. By encouraging deeper dialogue and collaboration among diverse stakeholders at universities in four European countries, the aim of InterHEd is to develop novel methodologies for professional development of teachers and to innovate course design in ways that drive systems-level change.

The event was a success, and the inspiring presentations were well received by the participants. We are very excited that the InterHEd initiative attracted such great interest and look forward to further collaboration and a fruitful scientific exchange.
