The Diversity-Team
The members of the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit introduce themselves.
Anna Hollstegge
"My team and I work closely with the Vice Rectorate for Equal Opportunity and Diversity. As the head of the office, I see myself as an initiator and try to get the ball rolling. We support the rectorate by looking for solutions and developing strategies to achieve more excellence through diversity. We are about to start the re-audit "Shaping Diversity" and are looking forward to further expanding our network at the university in order to include as many perspectives as possible in our work and to win over more multipliers for the topic."
Daina Hues
"I have been a project manager in the staff unit since last year. Before that, I worked for many years in humanitarian aid, including at the Federal Foreign Office and in the foreign aid department of the German Red Cross. In my many years of work in international contexts, I have experienced how important it is to promote equal opportunities and diversity. By planning and implementing projects and new initiatives, I would like to contribute to further strengthening the topics of equal opportunities and diversity at the University of Bonn."
Julia Lindenberg
"My name is Julia Lindenberg, I have a degree in education and work as a project coordinator for inclusion and participation at the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit. Before that, I worked as a specialist advisor for inclusion at a regional youth welfare organisation in the Rhineland. My focus is on resources to identify and minimise spatial, digital and attitudinal barriers in the context of the university. Supported by university network structures and with the involvement of the target group, strategies are developed to realise the most self-determined and equal participation possible for all university members."
Jukka Jokela
"I have been working as advisor for protection against discrimination in the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit since 2023. Before that, I was responsible for anti-discrimination and integration work in the municipal administration. I also worked for several years in youth welfare with a focus on refugees/migration and LGBTIQA*. Together with my colleague Naomi Salbert, I advise, raise awareness and support all members of the university in the area of anti-discrimination and anti-racism work.”

Naomi Salbert
"My name is Naomi Salbert (she/her) and I have been an advisor for anti-discrimination in the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Unit since June 2023. At the University of Cologne, I previously worked in the Gender and Diversity Management Unit to promote the topic of anti-racism and was also responsible for public relations, among other things. I am now looking forward to working with my colleague Jukka Jokela to bring the topics of anti-discrimination and anti-racism more into focus at the University of Bonn. Together we advise and support all university members and want to raise awareness of the issues."
Ruth Bischoff
"I have been supporting the team as an assistant since May 2022 and am responsible, among other things, for project administration, event management and appointment coordination. I have been working at the University of Bonn since 2016 and took over the administrative coordination for a collaborative research centre before 2022.
I am very happy that the topic of equal opportunities and diversity is becoming an increasingly important part of the university and that I can help shape and accompany this process as a team member."
