Press Training with the Aktivistinnen-Agentur at the RTG Contradiction Studies

On November 29th, an interview and podium training with Emily Laquer from the Aktivistinnen-Agentur took place on the premises of the RTG Contradiction Studies. During this training, the members of the RTG were able to learn how to communicate their scientific findings and research results to the press confidently and assuredly, be it on television, radio or in the newspaper. The training was illustrated with concrete examples and exercises.

Aktivistinnen-Agentur e.V. is an independent, non-partisan and non-profit association by and for activists. They offer training, coaching, mediation and workshops.

Organized by: Caro Zieringer, Lilli Hasche und Samia Mohammed

articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”

Martin Nonhoff
decolonial scholarship

“Creating decentralizing and decolonizing scholarship on contradiction, contradictory phenomena, and contradicting processes is a challenging task.”

Kerstin Knopf
power and resistance

“Michel Foucault says: “Where there is power, there is resistance, and […] this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power” (History of Sexuality I, The Will to Knowledge, 1976, p. 95)”

Gisela Febel
idea of democratic critique

“If you think that acts of contradicting someone always need to point to better solutions, you haven’t really understood the idea of democratic critique.”

Martin Nonhoff
coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
