Myth: Gender inequality has a one-size-fits-all solution


Listen Later

What is intersectionality, anyway? We’ll demystify it in this episode--and delve into the myth that gender inequality can have a one-size-fits-all solution. 

Intersectionality shows us how we need to consider how our different social identities such as race, gender, religion, Indigeneity, immigrant status, disability, and sexual identity all intersect to play a significant role in how we experience the world. So, rather than creating policies, services, and research that homogenize people, we need to make sure we apply intersectionality—or we risk leaving people behind. 

Featured Guests: 
Dr. Sharla Alegria, Assistant Professor of Sociology at University of Toronto
Dr. Courtney McCluney, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Cornell University
