OUR INTERSECTIONS
Q+
Q+ is part of the Diversity Commission and is committed to the equality and visibility of queer students and employees at the ZHAW.
We promote exchange, education and a queer-friendly university culture.
Spektrum
Spektrum is the alias intersection of the ZHAW, which takes time to understand and support neurodiversity, mental health and everything that challenges us in everyday university life.
FINTA
FINTA (women, inter, non-binary, trans, agender people)
Raising awareness of queer-feminist issues in everyday university life and society – creating a safe space for FINTA people at the university – exchange, support and joint fight for equal rights.
BIPOC
The newly founded BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) intersection is there to address the concerns of students who belong to a group that may be affected by racial discrimination. For example, university content that is discriminatory or stereotyping is discussed. Networking, awareness-raising and education should take place within the intersection, students and internal ZHAW departments such as the Diversity Office.
