The 15th DiGENet Network Meeting and installation of DiGENet Dialogues, “Sustainable Synergies: Uniting Gender, Diversity, and Global South Voices”, took place on May 6, 2025, in Berlin. The centerpiece was the inaugural lecture of Audre Lorde Visiting Professor 2025 Prof. Angela Dziedzom Akorsu (University of Cape Coast), who examined how gendered labor divisions in Ghana intersect with questions of sustainability and equity. Her talk challenged prevailing assumptions in development discourse and highlighted the value of gender-sensitive approaches in both research and practice. Three Berlin-based projects were then presented, each demonstrating how sustainability, gender, and diversity intertwine in research contexts. The event concluded with a moderated dialogue exploring the UN Sustainable Development Goals through the lens of transregional gender research. The conversation addressed colonial continuities in global labor systems and proposed actionable strategies to counter structural gendered inequalities. The event provided a space for exchange, critical reflection, and networking at the intersection of diversity and global justice.
