Workshop Racism and Development Aid
Criticising Racist Structures and Representations in the Context of Austrian Development AidIn this workshop we want to talk about the relevance of racism in the Austrian development aid system today. For discussion in small groups, three specific themes have been defined: Visual representation in public relations campaigns; „encounters“ in development aid; as well as Fair Trade. Following a short summary by members of the small discussion groups, we want to discuss the question, how and if a deracialised development aid system could be conceptualised. Research group:The research group Racism and Development Aid was founded in autumn 2010 and its current members are Julia Stranner, Bente Gießelmann, Andrea Kremser, Hanna Stepanik, Isabelle Schützenberger and Clemens Pfeffer. We would be happy, if more people would join the group. For more information or to join the group, please send an e-mail to: clemens.pfeffer@univie.ac.at.
