OxfordTutorial:Intrsectionlity

Catalog description

Intersectionality shows us that identity is shaped by multiple, interconnected biological and social features of persons such as sex, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, class, country of origin, immigration status, religion, etc. Intersectionality makes us aware of the ways in which social and political institutions (governments, religions, legal systems, the media, economic systems, e.g.) create multiple and interlocking systems of oppression and privilege that can be mapped onto categories of identity. This course draws on the fields of Irish Literature and Philosophy to surface and understand complex often marginalized identities and experiences, and to more fully understand the nature of intersectionality itself.
