We are delighted to announce that visiting Centennial Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw will be running an interactive workshop for the Department of Gender Studies* on ‘Intersectionality and Politics’ on Monday 21st January 2019, as part of her final year visiting the Department.
During this three-hour workshop, Kimberlé Crenshaw will focus on histories of intersectionality and explore contemporary intersectional politics.
Kimberlé Crenshaw is an American civil rights advocate and a leading scholar of critical race theory. She is a professor at the UCLA School of Law and Columbia Law School, where she specializes in race and gender issues.
You can read more about Kimberlé Crenshaw here, and find out more about our other visiting scholars on our website.
Visiting Fellow/Professorial appointments are intended to help us to invite staff who are academics in other institutions to conduct research, or be involved in other activities which will benefit the Department.
We would particularly like to encourage applications from people whose work explores the Department’s current priority research themes. We usually have two to three visitors per annum.
*this event is by invitation only to current LSE MSc Gender students and tickets will be checked on the door.
