Intersectionality, a term first coined by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in the mid-1980s, considers how identity influences how people in society are seen through the perspective of race, class, gender and location.
At Georgia State University, a funding grant provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will support a three-and-a-half-year project towards intersectional studies, which will include a focus on symposia, workshops, guest lectures, roundtable discussions and the creation of a podcast focused on internationality in the American South.
