Session Type: Pre-Conference Mentoring Session
This seminar employs theories and knowledge from law, education, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and gender/women studies to examine the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, class, citizenship, religion, ability, immigration, etc. We will discuss the work of scholars who center the pedagogy and writing of Women of Color. Women of Color are socially placed as the victims of oppression through power constructs in the dominant discourse and reality. We will engage in conversations that are designed to better understand intersectionality, problematize the assumptions connected to the possession of multiple and intersecting socially marginalized identities, and investigate these identities through an organizing principle of social, cultural, political, and economic structures in different contexts, with profound implications for institutions such as education.
