Intersection 101: How Race, Class and Gender Affect Our Lives

About this talk

100 years ago women won the right to vote. We’ve made progress since then but remain a long way from a truly egalitarian system. Systemic racism and gender inequality persist. We’ll look at how race, class, gender and other individual characteristics “intersect” and impact how individuals are viewed, understood and treated, plus how to counter biases that continue to hold people back.
