Intersectionality

5 credits

Uses current discourses, visual art, and popular culture, to explore dimensions of embodiment and intersectionality, asking: How do race, class, gender, sexuality, and nation affect the body? As a concept that emerged from Black feminist thought, intersectionality analyzes multiple structures and vectors of social stratification as they converge on the lives of women of color. Recommended: GWSS 200 or other GWSS course.
