Men of the TU Delft, come make your voices heard on the problem of femicide and violence against women.

In the interplay between identity, power, and context, what does it take for you to speak up and be heard?

I heard colleagues (not from Studium Generale) sigh that the campus is not an “action camp.” After all, a university is supposed to be a place for education and research, not political struggle. But is that really true? To begin with: research […]

How does design—of streets, campuses, digital platforms, or lecture halls—shape who belongs and who does not? And what happens when we use these spaces to speak out, resist and make ourselves seen?

Studium Generale is proud to co-host a new one-day experimental installation by Els Spanjers, a TU Delft student of the Master Design for Interaction. This article lets you imaginatively step into the installation experience before the event on the 11th of June.

Scientists and engineers have long been troubled by the moral weight of their discoveries and creations. Is the world better for their work – that men may better kill one another?

I saw bodies shatter into pieces under precisely dropped mini-bombs. I saw soldiers begging the camera for mercy. I saw others shot point-blank after surrendering. But what did I actually see?
