Spring 2007. KRISTA MCQUEENEY. An in-depth examination of a key framework in the social sciences known as intersectionality. Intersectionality holds that we cannot understand people's experience and identity without taking into account their multiple locations in the social structure. Explores the implications of intersectionality for theory and practice. On a theoretical level, paying attention to people's position along multiple, intersecting axes of power often requires us to revise, and sometimes even dispense with, long-held theoretical assumptions in the social sciences. On a practical level, unless service providers take intersectionality into account, they will be less effective- and perhaps even detrimental-for certain segments of the population. Develops new insights on sociological paradigms and new directions for activism in pursuit of social justice. (Same as Sociology 267.) Note: This course is offered as part of the curriculum in Gay and Lesbian Studies.
