KSA student's council
The elected student's council at the Department for Social and Cultural Anthropology transferred their mandate to a grassroots council, the IG KSA. Currently, the five elected representatives and between five to ten other persons are active in numerous different projects. We're happy about every student, who wants to participate!
Decisions:
Decisions are made by reaching consensus in the IG plenum. The plenum is held once per week. Decisions are documented in a protocoll, and can be appealed in the following plenum.
Principles of grassroots democracy
The IG KSA (Institutional Group Social and Cultural Anthropology) is a so called "Basisgruppe", a grassroots collective. Thus we follow principles of emancipatory bottom-up organizing, feminism, antiracism, antifascism, antiheteronormativity. We are independent of political parties. More information can be found at https://www.basisgruppen.at/ (unfortunately only in German).
