In this episode, host Mikayla and consultant Sim Fitzgerald from Diverse Matters delve into the intricate concept of intersectionality and its profound implications within the workplace.
Sim introduces the concept of intersectionality, coined by Dr. Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989. It explores how various social identities intersect and compound experiences of discrimination, as illustrated by the landmark case DeGraffenreid vs. General Motors.
The discussion evolves to reflect on the journey of understanding intersectionality, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and continuous learning.
Sim illustrates the practical application of intersectionality in addressing issues like pay disparities, urging listeners to move beyond simplistic metrics like gender alone.
In a rapidly evolving landscape of diversity and inclusion, understanding intersectionality is key to fostering a truly equitable workplace. Join us as we explore its significance and practical applications!
