Episode Description:
“This AND That: Intersectionality 101”
Many of us have heard the term “intersectionality,” but do we truly know what it means?
Coined by legal scholar Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, intersectionality is a term for
understanding how various forms of inequality interlock and play out in peoples’ lives.
Originally used to reference the compounded inequalities Black women face, intersectionality
brings awareness to our different inequalities – Black & Female, Black & Gay, Black & Disabled,
etc.
