About this episode
What is intersectionality? Discrimination comes in many forms, but it’s important to remember and acknowledge that every marginalised person has their own unique experience of discrimination. Furthermore, the oppression they face may relate to a single social category, like race, class, gender, physical ability or sexual orientation for example, or it may relate to several different categories. For example, experiences of racism are not the same for the rich and the poor, sexism is not the same for black and white women. But what is the origin of the concept? How has intersectionality come back under the spotlight? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is Galentine's Day? What is Pokémon?
