Throughout the academic year, WGSS will host "Brown Bag Seminars" that will showcase GW faculty and student research on issues concerning gender, race, and sexuality. In the upcoming seminar on Wednesday, December 4th from 12-1 p.m, Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Ivy Ken will discuss the collaborative scholarship on intersectionality developed by the University of Memphis. This was an important precursor to Kimberlé Crenshaw's foundational essays. Dr. Ken's critical inquiry, informed by the sociology of knowledge, will explore how the humanities and social sciences have been disciplined in ways that have consequences for understanding the dynamics of intersectionality.
Join the WGSS community for this enriching discussion and broaden your knowledge on the Humanities and Social Sciences field. Their RSVP deadline is December 2nd!
Please see this WGSS BBL December 4_Ivy Ken for more information.
