Please enjoy our fourth episode released Friday, November 29, entitled “On Intersectionality” featuring host Arielle Winfield, C’17, and Kimberly Mutcherson, Co-Dean and Professor of Law at Rutgers Law School and C’94 alumna. Intersectionality is a theory coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor, civil rights activist, and legal scholar, that describe how “overlapping or intersecting social identities, particularly minority identities, relate to systems and structures of oppression, domination, or discrimination.” During this conversation, Arielle talks with Kim Mutcherson about her experiences as a black gay woman leading up to, during, and following her time as an undergraduate at Penn that shaped and molded how she views the world and how she views herself.
