Introduction to Intersectionality
Description
This week we provide an overview of intersectionality, a concept that gave a name to the ways in which individuals experience intersecting oppressions that combine to create varied modes of discrimination and privilege. This introduction to intersectionality covers the history of the term, Kimberlé Crenshaw's 1989 article, and some of the critiques and issues with applying intersectionality in research and praxis.
Whether you’re new to the concept yourself, or want to offer an introductory source for your students, friends, family and loved ones, this episode offers a comprehensive overview for those who want to understand this important concept.
