Audre Lorde said, there's no such thing as single-issue struggles because we do not live single-issue lives... But just how true is this?

Thinking intersectionally can transform our understanding of the obstacles Black and Asian people face if they’re female, disabled, old, young, gay, or lesbian. It can shine a spotlight on the double discrimination faced by Black women or older Asian people. But is all this talk of intersectionality really a way to avoid talking about core issues like racism? Are some issues easier to talk about - making others easy to hide? How do we address intersectionality without feeling that other issues have been diluted?This provocative and interactive seminar will tackle these questions head on. Internationally recognised diversity expert Dr Doyin Atewologun will unpack what ‘intersectionality’ really means and guide us through the fractious debate about its role in progressing equality. You’ll also have the opportunity to question Dr Atewologun yourself.This seminar will be useful to:<ul><li>people who have responsibility for promoting equality in organisations</li><li>community activists </li><li>funders</li><li>general equality nerds</li></ul>Dr Doyin Atewologun is Director of Delta Alpha Psi, the leadership and inclusion consultancy. She is also an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College (Oxford University) and was previously Director of the Gender, Leadership, and Inclusion Centre at Cranfield School of Management.
