Intersectionality Matters! with Kimberlé Crenshaw Podcast
INFORMATION
OUR VALUES ABOUT Intersectionality Matters! with Kimberlé Crenshaw is an African American Policy Forum podcast. The show brings intersectionality to life by exploring the hidden dimensions of today's most pressing issues, from Say Her Name, to the war on Critical Race Theory (CRT), and the global rise of fascism. Each episode explores the work of leading activists, artists, and scholars and helps listeners understand politics, the law, social movements, and even their own lives in deeper, more nuanced ways. Previous guests on the podcast include Bob the Drag Queen, N.K. Jemisin, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Bryan Stevenson, George M Johnson, Jelani Cobb, Anita Hill, Ibram X. Kendi, Soledad O’Brien, W. Kamau Bell, Cliff Albright and many more visionary activists, artists and scholars.
Thirty years ago, Dr. Crenshaw (@sandylocks) developed the theory of intersectionality to explain the way social justice problems, like racism and sexism, have compound effects on the lives of many Americans — often exposing them to multiple levels of social injustice at once. Particularly since the 2016 presidential election, usage of the term has ballooned; especially within the feminist community. Since then, valuable explorations of systems of power, and the complex ways in which they converge to shape the experience of marginalized groups, have happened around the world. Leading that trend, the Intersectionality Matters! podcast brings the concept to life for listeners through stories about identity, privilege and power, with an aim to build more resilient social movements, and find solutions to critical problems in the world.
