Intersectionality and Intercultural Feminism

The course treats the history of intersectionality in feminist theory and gives an account of how the concept is used in intercultural studies. Important themes include the capacity of the theory to grasp the social organisation of cultural difference. There is an emphasis on how the understanding of intersectionality changes in relation to whether culture is conceptualised as a static or a dynamic phenomenon. The course provides examples of how interculturality and intersectionality are manifested in private and public contexts, locally and globally. Group work presented in oral and written discussions and individual tasks are included.
