Advancing Equity and Applying Intersectionality in Europe: Challenges and Contradictions<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

with Dr. Ashlee Chistoffersen, Banting Postdoctoral Fellow <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 will mark half a century since the first European directives prohibiting identity-based discrimination. However, social inequities are increasing. Moreover, equity policy remains hugely \u2018siloed\u2019, predominantly focused around single issues\/identities, best serving intersectionally privileged groups (e.g. white women). Yet, intersectionality, the Black feminist theory that inequalities are indivisible from one another, is increasingly difficult for those with influence on equity policy to ignore or explicitly resist. This presentation will give an overview of intersectionality, identify barriers to its operationalization in Europe, examine the UK in more detail as a case study, and reflect on contemporary challenges and contradictions for advancing equity and applying intersectionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashlee Christoffersen <\/strong>is Banting Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Politics and Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Her research is about the operationalization of intersectionality in policy and practice. She is the author of The Politics of Intersectional Practice: Representation, Coalition and Solidarity in UK NGOs <\/em>(forthcoming 2024, Bristol University Press), and articles about equity policy and intersectionality in the European Journal of Politics and Gender, Social Politics, Canadian Public Administration & Policy & Politics<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The School of Gender, Sexuality and Women\u2019s Studies<\/strong> invites you to join the Annual Lecture <\/strong>event featuring a roundtable on the possibilities and limitations of institutionalized Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

The roundtable will explore various fields such as higher education, broadcasting, news organizations and politics and the ways in which racialized and other marginalized people with progressive politics are initially welcomed in spaces of power, becoming symbols (or tokens) of progress in achieving \u201cdiversity and inclusion,\u201d only to then be gaslighted, vilified or face reprisals for espousing their views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
