Through the Prism of Intersectionality


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we discuss “the urgency intersectionality”—the term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 to describe the unique discrimination that can occur from both race and gender bias. We are also extremely excited to welcome our first ever guest: Robert Brown, an Atlanta-based Real Estate and Finance Law attorney and Adjunct Professor at Morehouse College. As a 1996 Morehouse graduate, Robert Brown decided to take up a personal call to action and teach a social justice and communications course at Morehouse. It was in this class that Professor Brown introduced the students to Crenshaw’s lens of intersectionality. To see Crenshaw’s explain the origins of the term—watch her TEDTalk here: https://www.ted.com/talks/kimberle_crenshaw_the_urgency_of_intersectionality/up-next?language=en.
