Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: All staff are welcome – Academic staff and those involved in research may be particularly interested.

This is a live in-person event as part of Research Integrity and Culture Week (RICW).  It is a 'one off' and will not have a waiting list.

Intersectionality, a term coined by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, describes the study of overlapping identities and the interaction between different power structures. In this workshop, participants will be provided with a safe space to reflect on intersecting identities such as race, gender, class, sexual orientation, ability, and many others. By applying an intersectional framework, participants will be better equipped at identifying the impact of overarching power structures and comprehensively address inequality.

Participants will

• Gain an understanding of intersectionality and why it is a useful framework
• Explore identity, power, advantage and disadvantage
• Explore how intersecting identities shape our experiences in higher education and beyond
• Identify ways in which they can apply workshop learnings and frameworks to address inequality

The session as planned will include an element of discussion and group work with other staff members. There will be a comfort break halfway through the session (after approx. 45 mins). If you have any specific access requirements for the session, please contact Simran Kaur simran.kaur@strath.ac.uk
