biography

education and profession

Schunter-Kleemann studied sociology , psychology , philosophy and political science at the Philipps University of Marburg and at the Free University of Berlin (FU) from 1962 to 1969 and graduated in 1969 with a diploma in sociology. She was a member of the ( Socialist German Student Union ) SDS and was involved in higher education policy in the convention of the Free University and against the Vietnam War in the Berlin student movement. As a student assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, she worked on the international comparative project Student and Politics , from which her diploma thesis emerged.

In 1971 she married the Berlin painter Peter Schunter. From 1970 to 1975 she worked as a research assistant at the Psychological Institute of the FU. She did her doctorate in 1975 at the Otto Suhr Institute of the FU, and then began studying Chinese in Bonn and Beijing, which was offered by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). She did not complete this because in the summer of 1976 she became a professor at the University of Bremen . Until her retirement in 2005, she represented the subjects of social, political and industrial sciences.

Further memberships

Schunter-Kleemann was involved in union, party and women's politics. In the 1980s she was a member of the Bremen women's group, the women's working group of the DGB (6) and the women's working group of the German Communist Party (DKP) and the Bremen women's alliance against war and militarism. She ran unsuccessfully in 1983 for Bremen's citizenship on the list of corporate alternatives (BAL) and in 1994 as non-party on the list of the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) for the European Parliament .

The preoccupation with socio-historical aspects of the living situation of Bremen women and biographical studies of known and unknown Bremen women led to the elaboration of a city tour with women in motion, which she carried out herself for twenty years. As a member of the board of the Friends and Patrons of Villa Ichon , she established the tradition of annual ladies' speeches.

Scientific focus

Further studies of labor market policy and economic history dealt with the situation of women on a European and global level. In 1985 she received important impulses from participating in the World Conference on Women in Nairobi , Kenya. As co-founder of the Scientific Unit Women's Studies and Women's Research (WE FF) at the University of Bremen in 1987 (alongside Inge Buck and Renate Meyer-Braun), her focus was now increasingly on the goal of comparative studies of the European welfare states, but also the social and economic - and to anchor the equal treatment policy of the European committees in the courses of study at the University of Bremen in teaching and research. The joint activities of the WEFF initiators resulted in a series of public events, book publications and WE FF discussion papers at the University of Bremen. Schunter-Kleemann's pioneering role in investigating the European Union from a gender-sensitive perspective is now widely recognized in the German-speaking area (16) The response to her European-political publication activities led Schunter-Kleemann to lecture tours in almost all European countries. In 1995/96 she held visiting professorships at the University of Zurich , in 2000 at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, and from 2006 to 2008 at the Zurich University of the Arts . From 2006 to 2009 she was part of the teaching team at Rosa Mayreder College in Vienna.

At the invitation of the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science and Art, she was an international expert on the Gabriele Possaner jury for the award of the Austrian State Prize for Gender Studies from 2001 to 2005 .

She was a member of the Alternative Economic Policy Working Group , the Women's Research Section in the German Sociological Society , the Social Science Labor Market Research Working Group (SAMF) and the European Association of Labor Economists . As a board member, she worked from 1983 to 2003 in the Association of Friends and Supporters of the Villa Ichon and in the Bremen Foundation for Armaments Conversion and Peace Research . In this context, she organized the series of events Africa: Remembering-Negotiating in 2009 . Colonialism in the collective memory of Africa and Europe .
