Where and how does the learning of feminism begin?

Degree Project

equal sphere – Feminism Workshop: Equality, Self-determination, and Justice

Hannah Sophie Dusch

In contemporary society, young people are increasingly encountering feminist themes through social media, leading to the rapid spread of trends such as ‘microfeminism’. These trends convey both positive and distorted portrayals of feminism. This study explores methods to visually represent feminist perspectives for students, examining the efficacy of various creative approaches in making complex feminist subjects comprehensible to young individuals. The communication of feminist ideas is crucial for initiating long-term societal transformation. 

The research approach is anchored in an investigation of ‘microfeminism’, exploring its effects and implications within contemporary feminist discourse. Additionally, through a comprehensive examination of feminist literature, this analysis establishes a deeper understanding of feminism and serves as a theoretical basis for further work.

The core of the practical implementation lies in the development of a participatory workshop concept, which aims to encourage middle-school students to engage with feminist issues and cultivate their own perspectives. The workshop is designed not only to impart knowledge, but also to encourage critical reflection and the exploration of potential for action.

The objective is to cultivate a comprehensive and cohesive concept, to provide an outlook through the utilisation of extended materials and to stimulate future discourse. The intention of the work is to initiate an introduction to feminist theory and practice, to stimulate curiosity and to illustrate the relevance and importance of feminism in today's world for all people.
