Critical Vocabularies: Intersectionality
January 31, 2023 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for a workshop to unpack key languages that we use in our writing, research, and dialogues of academia starting off with a really foundational one: Intersectionality! We are thrilled to co-host this workshop with Julia Lane from the Student Learning Commons. The event will take place on Tuesday January 31 from 11:30-1 in WAC Bennet Library room 7301.

Through a combination of open discussion and engagement with relevant research and writing scenarios, we will consider how the concept of intersectionality can be useful and meaningful in our work as student scholars.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop a critical understanding of the concept of intersectionality
- Engage in open, collaborative discussion with peers about intersectional research and writing
- Develop your own sense of how intersectionality can be a meaningful and useful part of scholarly work
