Dr. Ines Kappert was the director of the Gunda Werner Institute for Feminism between 2015 and 2025.

I am interested in the stories that hold a society together or divide it. In particular, I analyze which stories are used to legitimize injustice.

My focus is on "feminism for the post-migrant society" and "feminist foreign policy".

I studied in Berlin and Paris and have a PhD in General and Comparative Literature. In 2008 I published "Der Mann in der Krise. Or Conservative Critique of Capitalism in Mainstream Culture".

After that, I worked as a researcher for the German Federal Cultural Foundation and co-edited "Sprung in die Stadt. Then I moved to the newspaper taz, where I was head of the opinion section from 2008 to 2015 and published around 400 articles.
