从科隆到玛格德堡:教授关于她的团结之旅

从科隆到玛格德堡:教授关于她的团结之旅

The reunification of Germany in 1990 is a formative experience for many.科隆人吉利安·格克(Gilian Gerke)也是如此,当时她在Burscheid完成了制药技术助理的培训。马格德堡 - 史达尔大学应用科学大学的教授的个人故事充满了记忆和经历,她让人想起德国的变化。

她最令人印象深刻的记忆之一是科隆城的手中的漫画,灯开关的埃里希·霍纳克(Erich Honecker)带有讽刺意味的是:“ GDR-最后一件事是光。” For Gerke, the picture symbolizes the transformative events around the fall of the wall and the subsequent reunification. After working in Aachen in a pharmacy, she strived for an academic career. "I wanted to do something meaningful and sustainable," said Gerke, who finally decided to study engineering with a focus on waste management.

professional experiences and the move to Magdeburg

在她在绿点进行博士学位和一项活动之后,她在东德建立了许多专业的联系之后,搬到马格德堡是一个相当随机的一步。 "I only knew the city from a rowing hiking meeting," she recalls. In October 2012 she accepted a professorship in Magdeburg.对于她来说,新环境的开始并不容易,因为北德和科隆之间的不同心态对她来说是一个挑战。

Despite the initial difficulties, Gerke now feels comfortable in Magdeburg and appreciates the positive development of the city. The university campus and local projects are particularly important to her. In addition, she volunteered as a palliative attendant at the Pfeiffer foundations. "But I continue to see differences in the structure and salaries between east and west," she emphasizes. Gerke wants more internationality and interdisciplinarity at her university.

engagement in the field of waste management

Gilian's passion for waste management also extends beyond its teaching activity.她与媒体研究教授的同事Jan Pinseler一起经营播客“ The Waster”。 Your goal is to spread knowledge of waste and recycling. "I wanted to bring my knowledge to people and asked Jan if he wanted to participate," she explains.该播客是在Magdeburg-Stendal Applied Sciences的H2Radio校园广播电台工作室生产的。 The sound design comes from Mathies Kölzer, a fresh graduate of journalism who also contributed Jingles for the radio.

The podcast is open to suggestions, criticism and subject suggestions from the listeners.在每个情节结束时,回答了一个观众的问题,这进一步促进了交流和兴趣。 Hearers can submit inquiries at post@dasahlgut.de
