Intersectionality in Europe: Examining Oppression and Resistance at the Intersections of Ableism and Other Forms of Isms
Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Marriott Grand Ballroom 3Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The symposium brings together leading scholars and grassroots activists from Europe who adopt an intersectional approach to educational research and practice. Intersectionality originated in the work of U.S. critical race theorist Crenshaw (1989), and its epistemological lineage is built from the perspectives of Black feminists such as Sojourner Truth and Audre Lorde. Intersectionality shows how some people are subject to multiple inequalities, and their experience is not just the sum of its parts (Steinmetz, 2020).
Scholars and activists in the symposium will attempt to answer the following question: what does it mean to utilize an intersectional stance to research in the European context? How can intersectionality be used to disrupt systemic forms of oppression in the European context?
