Intersectionality, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Workplace

We will discuss the concept of intersectionality, recognizing that an individual’s identity 0 has many dimensions. These dimensions, race, color, gender, age, etc. are not segregated. Rather these dimensions are intertwined to affect our experiences and behaviors in relation to inequality, injustice, and discrimination. When analyzed, we learn that these dimensions produce a unique and different experience of discrimination, rather than an additional issue of discrimination. Intersectionality, when effectively applied in the workplace, moves us away from single issue approaches.
