Intersectional discrimination
This title examines the concept of intersectional discrimination and why it has been difficult for jurisdictions around the world to redress it in discrimination law. 'Intersectionality' was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. 30 years since its conception, the term has become a buzzword in sociology, anthropology, feminist studies, psychology, literature, and politics. But it remains marginal in the discourse of discrimination law, where it was first conceived. Traversing its long and rich history of development, the book explains what intersectionality is as a theory and as a category of discrimination. It then explains what it takes for discrimination law to be reimagined from the perspective of intersectionality in reference to comparative laws in the US, UK, South Africa, Canada, India, and the jurisprudence of the European Courts and international human rights treaty bodies.

Análisis interseccional sobre personajes femeninos de distintos colectivos étnicos. Estudio de caso de tres miniseries de Netflix
Introducción y propósito. La interseccionalidad fundamenta esta investigación basada en tres narraciones emitidas en la plataforma Netflix, que abordan temas que aglutinan conceptos sobre mujeres de color, etnias diversas, comunidades tradicionalmente consideradas como marginales, la búsqueda de la libertad, frente al fanatismo hegemónico y reglado, la lucha política por la recuperación de la justicia, de la mano de mujeres que rompen los patrones tradicionales de representación suponiendo un cambio de paradigma. Objetivos y Metodología. Partiendo de planteamientos (Hill Collins, Bilge, 2016 o Braidotti, 2019) de análisis macro y micro sociológicos, se ha realizado un estudio de contenidos de corte cualitativo, aplicado a las tres series -Unorthodox, Kalifat y Black Earth Rising- estableciendo la interrelación entre los conceptos en busca de la justicia social. Los descriptores fundamentales han sido la etnia, el cuerpo, la sexualidad, el matrimonio, la religión y lo social. Resultados y discusión. Los resultados plantean un evidente cambio de arquetipos. El análisis macro del estudio pone de relieve las relaciones de poder desde una perspectiva de interseccionalidad mostrando cómo las mujeres protagonistas estaban sometidas a estructuras opresoras. El análisis micro demuestra que se da una deconstrucción de éstas a través de mujeres que consiguen transgredir dichos entramados opresores. Aportación y originalidad de la contribución Un cambio de paradigma en el tratamiento tradicional de las miniseries con un giro hacia el empoderamiento de las mujeres.

Intersectionality of race, ethnicity, class, and gender in teaching and teacher education : movement toward equity in education
\"In Intersectionality of Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender in Teaching and Teacher Education, the editors bring together scholarship that employs an intersectionality methodology to conditions that affect public school children, teachers, and teacher educators. Chapter authors use intersectionality to examine group identities not only for their differences and experiences of oppression, but also for differences within groups that contribute to conflicts among groups. This collection moves beyond single-dimension conceptions that undermines legal thinking, disciplinary knowledge, and social justice. Intersectionality in this collection helps complicate static notions of race, ethnicity, class, and gender in education. Hence, this book stands as an addition to research on educational equity in relation to institutional systems of power and privilege\" -- Provided by publisher.

S20.2 Intersectionality, criminalisation and sexual health
Intersectional stigma converges with criminalization to produce sexual health disparities. The convergence of socially marginalized identities constrains sexual rights, as well as provides opportunities for resilience, resistance, and solidarity. This presentation explores how an intersectionality lens helps to elucidate the ways that criminalization shapes sexual health across diverse populations and contexts. This presentation draws from three community-based studies. Applying a multiple case study design to these studies provides the opportunity to examine broader themes of intersectionality and criminalization and how these shape sexual health across global contexts. A qualitative study was conducted with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons in Lesotho, a country where same-sex practices were recently decriminalized but there remains no legal protection from discrimination for LGBT persons. A mixed-methods study was conducted with LGBT youth and gender diverse sex workers in Jamaica, where sex work and same sex practices are criminalized. Finally, a quantitative study was conducted with urban refugee youth in Uganda, where sex work is criminalized. We found that managing and negotiating sex—and in turn sexual health—was constrained by intersectional sexual rights violations. The ways by which persons were affected by criminalization differed based on intersectional identities, including gender, sex work and sexual orientation. By examining contexts of constrained sexual rights, we found that survival challenges included pervasive violence—including from police, limited healthcare access, employment & housing barriers, barriers to accessing prevention tools, and barriers to healthy relationships. Participants across contexts discussed awareness of, and strategies to navigate, these barriers to sexual health. Criminalization of sex work and LGBT identities constrains negative and positive sexual rights. An intersectional lens provides insights into both intercategorical complexity—shared and differential experiences across populations and contexts—and intracategorical complexity of lived experiences within socially marginalized groups. Findings can inform intersectional, structural-level sexual health interventions.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
