Nobody experiences the world in just one dimension. This seminar looks critically at how gender, sexuality, racism and class form multiple, intersecting dimensions that shape individual experience, social structures and power relations. This ‘intersectionality’ or ‘multidimensionality’ informs the ways in which some people and some groups experience specific (often particularly egregious) forms of oppression, marginalisation or exploitation. However, the seminar also looks at how ‘intersectional’ or ‘multidimensional’ approaches have historically informed the ways in which such oppression, marginalisation or exploitation have been resisted.

Throughout this course, we will look at how economic questions – i.e. questions of class and capitalism, waged and unwaged labour – shape gender, sexuality, racism and the ways in which these are entangled with one another.

The seminar forms one of the two foundational seminars within the BA Gender and Diversity Certificate. For more information see www.leuphana.de/gdz
