Students of colour and students with a migration background repeatedly encounter racism, prejudice and discrimination. Anti-Semitism is also still widespread at Austrian universities. This discrimination is a structural problem and also has an impact on the content of teaching and research: Most curricula are filled with white, Eurocentric theories that uncritically reproduce the exploitative way of life of the global North. Anti-racist topics, such as post-colonialism, are usually completely absent. This is not what a free, complete and critical education looks like!
We want an anti-racist social and higher education system with independent contact and reporting points for cases of discrimination, with the promotion of People of Colour among students and teaching staff and a revised curriculum that does not reproduce racist content and is actively anti-racist.
