Field/Area of work: Globalisation, Transformation, Gender
Subject group: STEM
Status: Ongoing
Keywords: infrastructure, geography, urban, Karachi, inhabitation, governance, class, gender
Short description: Research takes urban roads as the primary frame to examine the politics of infrastructure and inhabitation in Karachi, Pakistan. It brings together scholarship on infrastructure, inhabitation, and more-than-human geography. The focus attends to liminal forms of human and non-human inhabitations that are sutured in relation to roads and those violently unmade to further roads. It examines governance practices and lived realities that produce roads as sites of tensions and encounters shaped by social categories of class and gender.

Short description: The transnational research project "Perspectives and Discourses on Sexual Harassment in International Higher Education Contexts" investigates the prevalence, forms and effects of sexualized discrimination, harassment and violence in the context of higher education as well as structural implications. To this end, the MvBZ cooperates with partner universities from Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Japan, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and South Korea. In addition to the respective national contexts, the research cooperation aims to include sexualized harassment, discrimination and violence at universities, in particular as a global phenomenon. Sexual Harassment, Discrimination and Violence occurs in all areas of society. Even and especially universities as places of study and work with a hierarchical, dependency-shaped structure are not free from such assaults. At universities, however, such occurrences are often negated. They see themselves as largely non-discriminatory places of research, teaching and critical reflection. That is why it is often difficult to thematize and visualize the problem in a university context. In order to better understand and combat the phenomenon of sexualized violence at the university, it is therefore necessary to examine the specific context of the organization of higher education and its modes of functioning. Surveys on the subject are conducted at all partner universities and the results are discussed in regular project meetings. The concern of the project is also to raise the visibility of the topic at the university.
