Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" (closer to Campus Süd), and from B 1 / A 40 "Dortmund-Dorstfeld" (closer to Campus Nord). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.

To get from Campus Nord to Campus Süd by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at Campus Nord and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station ("Dortmund Universität"). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station ("Dortmund Hauptbahnhof") and Düsseldorf main station via the "Düsseldorf Airport Train Station" (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 20 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station "Stadtgarten", usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At "Stadtgarten" you switch trains and get on line U42 towards "Hombruch". Look out for the Station "An der Palmweide". From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop "Dortmund Kampstraße". From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop "Dortmund Wittener Straße". Switch to bus line 447 and get off at "Dortmund Universität S".

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. One ("Dortmund Universität S") is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the "Technologiepark" and (via Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd every five minutes.

Map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

„membra(I)nes“ 12th Annual Conference of the Gender Studies Association

06/01/2023

conference program in green, white, and grey

Holly Patch will be giving a talk titled "Trans* Vocality: Experiencing Vocal Body and Claiming Voice" on 16 June 2023 at the 12th Annual Conference of the Gender Studies Association "membra(I)nes" from 15-17 June 2023 at the HGB Academy of Fine Arts, Leipzig and Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, Halle. For the train ride from Leipzig to Halle, Holly Patch and Holden Madagame have also put together a short podcast:

Sounding Voice – A Guided Exploration

Trans* activist and singer, tenor Holden Madagame and gender sociologist Holly Patch bring together their respective expertise on trans* vocality to illuminate gendered aspects of vocal membranes in their aural contribution “Sounding Voice”. In a short podcast, Madagame and Patch engage the listener in an exploration and reflection of “vocal body”, “voice”, and “vocality”, concepts resulting from Patch’s ethnographic research with the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles. Voices partition self and world at the same time that they socially and materially interlink listener and vocalizer; material membranes of physical vocal structures of the vocal body buzz and agentially engage in meaning-making; and vocalities function as socio-political borderscapes. Madagame and Patch invite you to play around and discover, for example, what these vocal membranes mean for gendered existence.
