337 - Section on Race, Class and Gender Invited Session. How Changing the Conversation Changed Sociology: Intersectionality's Impact in the Discipline and Beyond

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Description

Since its introduction, the prospect of thinking intersectionally about race, gender, and class has had an undeniable impact on sociology. It has forced those both inside and outside of the academy to grapple with the ways these inequalities are complex, interrelated, and overlapping. In this panel, scholars who have established, refined, and popularized this theoretical approach discuss how, decades since its inception, it has changed sociology and social science at large.
