Fighting Racism & Bigotry: Leading Change in the Social Sciences
A Staff-Student Conversation series
Event no. 3: Intersectionality Studies
Fenner Hall @ ANU is pleased to host the third event in this interactive series of conversations between staff and students to develop strategies to combat prejudice within and beyond ANU. The final event for 2022 is dedicated to Intersectionality in the academy.
ANUSA BIPOC and Women’s department reports (2021; 2022) on incidents of racism and sexual harassment and assault reveal that domestic and international students from Indigenous and BIPOC backgrounds, and those who identify as gender-sexuality diverse and non-binary, are more likely to be targets of sexual harassment and assault, as well as of racism, than other students.
This conversation will explore the intersectional experiences of oppression and privilege for staff and students on campus, in the classroom and the residences. It will also ask how intersectionality could be applied in teaching and in curriculum development as a tool for critical analysis and for addressing discrimination.
Confirmed participants:
Assoc. Professor Wayne Morgan, Associate Dean-Education (College of Law)
Dr. Lina Koleilat, PhD student (College of Law)
Miranda Zvidza, Business Development Manager (College of Science)
Facilitator
Dr Karo Moret Miranda, Lecturer (History, CASS)
Date/time: Tuesday 11 October, 6.00-7.30 pm followed by refreshments
Venue: Theatre 2, ANU Cultural Centre, Kambri
