Diversity educates! Establishing racism-critical education at universities

How can inclusion, racism-criticism and excellence in universities be considered together? Drawing on the pedagogical discipline, this paper seeks to answer this question and prove that racism-criticism has to be understood as a transdisciplinary, cross-sectional responsibility in order to establish excellence in education. Power relations in universities represent the intitial situation. Due to existing power relations found at universities, the impact of discriminatory practices must be measured and then eliminated – particularly at the meso-level, which research has thusfar largely overlooked. The paper argues that expanding university access for civil society actors offers significant potential.
