Understanding Intersectionality

Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are an important part of a healthy work environment. But DEI values only scratch the surface of this important area—particularly since many people belong to more than one marginalized social group. To truly understand the unique experience of the people you work with requires a deeper look, and this is where intersectionality comes in. Intersectionality is one of the more important topics in DEI, and in this course, DEI expert Cory Wade explains the significance of intersectionality and how it manifests in professional settings. Join Cory as he illustrates how you can use intersectionality to promote equality in the workplace, covering topics like becoming intersectionality conscious, recognizing privilege and inequity, how to be an effective ally, the incentives of intersectionality, and more.
