POLS 4752 - The Politics of Intersectionality
Examines the emergence and prevalence of ‘intersectionality’ as a theoretical framework, political practice, and terrain of lived experience. Intersectionality signifies the simultaneity of identities and is commonly considered a robust approach to examining complicated, lived experiences. Intersectionality illuminates how multiple forms of disempowerment intersect and interact with one another, and captures the ways such intersections lead to deeper and more complex forms of subordination. Examines how a person who suffers from racism, poverty, and sexism has a much different lived experience than a person who may experience racist oppression, but whose sex and class status are privileged according to societal norms and expectations.
