Critical Intersectionality Workshop

A Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop

Welcome to the Critical Intersectionality Workshop

This Rackham Interdisciplinary workshop aims to create space for Rackham students to discuss, share readings, and present research regarding complex theoretical and methodological issues related to intersectionality. We recognize that different disciplines use varying definitions of intersectionality and will explore this to some degree in this workshop. Generally, we see this workshop as a space to reflect on how systems and social locations mutually construct features of social organization.

2019-2020 Goals

Create environments that allow participants to communicate across different disciplinary goals, languages, and conventions
Provide enriching experiences for both incoming student participants new to intersectionality, as well as opportunities for students in more advanced stages who are more familiar with intersectionality to examine the implications of intersectionality in their own work
