Intersectionality in a globalised world

Education facts

Code: GVGJ22

The course presents the historical background and development of the concept of intersectionality and provides an in-depth understanding of intersectional theory. Through global perspectives, the course examines how intersectionality has been understood and applied in different periods and contexts. Students learn how intersectionality can be used, as an analytical tool, for understanding how institutional, structural, and individual power relations interact and influence one another. For instance, the course offers insights into how intersectionality can critically reflect on sustainable development in a global context. In addition, the course includes components that help students develop their ability to read and write academic texts.
