Intersectional feminisms

Learning goals

This module provides a theoretical introduction to intersectionality and intersectional feminism, providing tools for their application in everyday life, both on a personal level and as part of projects and organizations. We aim to stimulate a range of reflections that encourage the incorporation of the intersectional perspective, one which is sensitive to social complexities, and critical of discourses which fuel discrimination.

With the collaboration of:

• To gain knowledge of intersectional theory, its theoretical and methodological approaches, in order to widen the perspectives of people and professionals on social issues.
• Acquire tools for the application of intersectional perspectives in daily life and in voluntary work and international collaborative partnerships.
• To gain knowledge of the genealogy of black and intersectional feminist critiques of hegemonic feminism.

• Reflect and discuss systems that generate oppression and privilege.
• Observe and reflect on our own position in society, and the implications inherent.
• Develop a critical perspective, and apply a practical intersectional perspective to different areas of interaction.

• Be mindful of situations of injustice that are a consequence of relationships built on dynamics of oppression and privilege between people, and to practices of respect for diversity, inclusion and equity.
• Show social awareness and self-awareness, which translate into transformative practices.
