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.

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.
