ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989. It has since been used and appropriated in many different circles, notably by white women. Now, 30 years later, a new wave of woman of color feminists seek to push back on the term, redefine the term, defend the term, and look beyond the term. Crenshaw herself is part of the conversation and currently seeks to reclaim and explain what the term meant in 1989 and what it means today. While reading these new texts, we thought about the ways the term Intersectionality has been changed and by whom. We read texts to expand our awareness of Intersectional theory as it has evolved since Crenshaw coined the term. In order to do that, she assigned us texts by AnaLouise Keating, Jennifer C. Nash, Jasbir K. Puar, and Brittney Cooper. Kimberly also assigned a video of Crenshaw's presentation at ASA 2018.
Questions to Consider: How can we encourage students to examine their felt sense of identity? How can we encourage them to develop language and methods to share about themselves? How can we encourage our students to examine the structures that affect their felt sense of personal identity? What should teachers do ensure that students know and understand the different types of labor?
