Since its emergence in 1980s, the concept of intersectionality has made its way from activist discourses to the mainstream of academic debates in many disciplines, including social sciences, humanities, jurisprudence, and medicine. During the course, we shall discuss the intellectual origins, current applications across disciplines, as well as critiques of and alternatives to the intersectional approach to the study of social diversity.
The precise content of the course will be defined together with the participants, so that it can reflect their particular research needs and areas of academic interest. Topics which might be covered include: origins of intersectionality in Black feminist thought, applications in sociology, psychology, economics, legal studies etc., intersectionality and transhumanism, gendered nationalism, intersectional masculinities etc. etc.
