Intersectionality

Season 5, episode 6.

This week we are joined by Dr Dom Jackson-Cole and Joris Lechêne to explore the concept of intersectionality, discussing its origins, evolution, and relevance in education and LGBTQ+ inclusion. The conversation traces the term back to Kimberlé Crenshaw’s foundational legal scholarship and expands into its broader applications, critiques, and misuses. 

Resources discussed in this episode:

• Crenshaw, Kimberlé (1989) – Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics.
• Crenshaw, Kimberlé (1991) – Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence Against Women of Color.
