1. Video: Audre Lorde on Intersectionality...before the term was coined (4 min)
https://youtu.be/i1pNsLsHsfs
2. Intersectionality (10 min)
Problematic/Oddly Worded Statements in Moodle:
- "I agree there are unconscious biases and intersectionalities between African Americans and White people."
- "...trying to educate students on biases and helping them try to get rid of the ideas of intersectionality."
- "The reality is that people of intersectionality lack the advocacy, resulting in a standstill of their oppression and treatment in everyday life."
- "Essentially the ideas of intersectionality are everywhere in society and determine our reactions to people."
A Good Resource:
Grinnell College Intersectionality page
- "Black feminists, queers, and working-class individuals combatted the lack of intersectional perspective within society by creating their own spaces to organize."
- "Through a historical lens, it’s clear that the leaders of many social movements...marginalized their fellow group members by glossing over the influence of intersecting identities on social inequality."
