ITN*inSport26

Geschlechtervielfalt in Universitäts- und Breitensport (German only)

When: 31.03.2026, 15:00 - 18:00

Why: Selbst im Universitäts- und Breitensport bleiben die Normen der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit und Geschlechterstereotypen häufig unhinterfragt und werden so (un)bewusst reproduziert. Dieses spannungsgeladene Feld beleuchten wir dazu am Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) genauer:

Wie kann es gelingen, eine sichere und wertschätzende sportliche Betätigung für Menschen aller Geschlechter zu ermöglichen?

Where: HS 120.01 im Erdgeschoß des Jesuitenrefektorium [Aigner-Rollett-Allee 39, 8010 Graz], Uni Graz und ONLINE

What: Fachvortrag und Podiumsdiskussion, sowie Rahmenprogramm mit Möglichkeiten Sport- und Bewegungsangebote auszuprobieren und kennenzulernen.

Details and Registration: https://sportfueralle.at

Together with you, queer@hochschulen would like to explore whether and how our queer university community can take a stronger political stance – without being party-political, but with clear social commitment.

This initial round aims to exchange perspectives, connect participants, and reflect on how queer visibility and representation at universities can be strengthened in the future.

Venue: Hochschule Campus Wien – exact room to be announced via our queer@hochschulen mailing list.
