Intersectionality: Reclaiming Stories and Building Communities
Fri, November 30, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Esmeralda 1Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session
Abstract
This alternative format session is co-sponsored by the Ethnicity, Race, and Multilingualism (ERM) and Gender & Sexualities (G&S) Committees. Together, we examine moments of hegemonic subjugation through a lens of intersectionality, which makes visible dominant and subordinating discourses. We focus on storytelling as a means to access unmitigated truths about race, gender, language, and identity. Intersectionality, then, is a process of exposing and expanding historical and sociopolitical contexts and thus allows for powerful cultural reimaginings.
