Award winner Titia Ladewig began her Bachelor's degree in 2018 with a two-subject degree in History and British and North American Studies at the University of Greifswald. After finishing her studies in 2022, she switched to the TU Chemnitz for her master’s in British and North American Studies with a focus on British and American Social and Cultural Studies. “We are very pleased that with Titia Ladewig’s work, we are once again able to reward an excellent and highly relevant piece of work that places special emphasis on the gender perspective,” says Ruth Terodde, Central Gender Equality Officer.
"Titia Ladewig's work is convincing as a whole due to its balanced and markedly reflective argumentation, as well as the author's impressive erudition and linguistic sovereignty, which is unusual for a bachelor's dissertation. Furthermore, this piece of work highlights a problem area that still requires a lot of research. Quite the contrary, this dissertation makes it clear where future research can start in order to systematically investigate questions about the connection between gender identities, civil rights and liberties, and social movements,” says Prof. Dr. Annelie Ramsbrock, member of the Senate’s Gender Equality Committee.
In its statement, the Gender Equality Committee explains: "The research question itself is extremely ambitious for a bachelor's dissertation. It does not just address an event, a development or an observation, but argues in a problem-oriented way. This analytic framework is accordingly broad. Questions of intersectionality, social media movements, closed spaces and reproductive rights are classified historically, legally and politically. The dissertation repeatedly draws on current examples to illustrate the argumentation. It is accordingly interdisciplinary and does more than justice to the research topic."
The Rectorate and Central Gender Equality Officer at the University of Greifswald award the Gender Prize every year for an excellent piece of academic writing that places special emphasis on the gender perspective. The prize money amounts to € 500. Any academic dissertations or doctoral theses that have recently been completed at the University of Greifswald, including University Medicine Greifswald, can be submitted.
