    Episode 10 Hiberno Goethe: Mia Gallagher

    This episode features Dublin writer and performer Mia Gallagher. Graduating at the time of recession in the late 1980s Mia is of a generation that was still emigrating and Dublin city a much more mono cultural place to live than we know it today. Having German roots allowed Mia to be in a position to observe and process life through another lens which fed into her creativity as an artist.

Protest is an integral part of democracies and a common form of political participation: Participants at the global Fridays for Future 2021 demonstration in Frankfurt with a banner reading “#NoMoreEmptyPromises: Politics is fought in the streets”. Photo (detail): © picture alliance/Andreas Arnold

Protest movements
 More than just indignation

Democracy thrives on debate, and protest is an important means of public participation. But how does protest arise and when does the opposition of individuals grow into mass mobilisation?

Though outdated role models prevail in the classic “Tarzan,” it is still very popular with readers of both sexes. Photo (detail): © picture alliance / Jens Kalaene

Children’s and young adult literature
 Neither pink nor blue

How much do books for children and young adults reinforce gender stereotypes? Literature expert Marlene Zöhrer argues that the book scene has never been as diverse and liberal as it is today. 

In addition to their jobs, they have to take care of children, the household and relatives: women are shouldering the lion’s share in the pandemic. Photo (detail): © picture alliance/dpa/Julian Stratenschulte

Corona pandemic
 “Women should definitely take time out to rest and recharge”

The changes to how we live and work during the coronavirus pandemic have put pressure on everyone. But traditional role patterns mean women have been particularly hard hit. In an interview, the specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy Sabine Köhler talks about how women can protect themselves.
