Talking Back and Looking Forward: Prof. Kimberlé Crenshaw on Intersectionality

Debates around DEI, education, and collective memory are becoming increasingly contested. At this urgent moment, we are honored to welcome Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, a pioneering scholar whose work has given us the language to understand these dynamics.

As one of the founders of Critical Race Theory and the scholar who coined the term intersectionality in 1989, Doctor Crenshaw has spent decades working at the intersection of civil rights, legal theory, and social justice.

On Friday, June 5th, the influential legal scholar and author will join Room for Discussion to discuss her new book, Backtalker: An American Memoir, and the enduring relevance of her work on intersectionality.

Following the interview, there will be a book sale, with an opportunity to have your copy of Backtalker signed by Professor Crenshaw herself. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet one of the most influential scholars and activists of our time!

Location: Roeterseiland, REC C1.04

The register link will be published soon on the website of Room for Discussion.
