Intersectionality & Higher Education

Research, Theory, & Praxis, Second Edition

Herausgegeben: Mitchell, Donald 'DJ'; Marie, Jakia; Steele, Tiffany L.

Beschreibung

Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who-because of the intersection race, gender, and class-are exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education: Theory, Research & Praxis further documents and expands upon Crenshaw's articulation of intersectionality within the context of higher education. The text includes (a) theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; (b) empirical research and research-based chapters using intersectionality as a framework; and (c) chapters focusing on intersectional practices, all within higher education settings. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gender studies and programs alike.

Rezensionen

"There is a saying, when you know better, you do better. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education will help educators do better around identity development and understanding contexts and institutional power structures that press down upon those most affected by marginalization. The renowned scholars that contributed to this book give readers an accessible way to unpack intersectionality within higher education."-Bridget Turner Kelly, Associate Professor, College of Education, University of Maryland; Executive Editor, Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice
