Course Description
“Intersectionality as a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects” (Kimberlé Crenshaw, 1989) is one of the leading contemporary contributions in the field of women’s and gender studies. As an interpretive tool, intersectionality extends across social sciences into include humanities and natural sciences. Against this background, this course will examine this knowledge production in post-disciplinary age, taking into consideration critical text analyses as a focus. It will examine different interpretive frameworks of intersectionality, its developments across gender studies and interdisciplinary fields including patterns and controversies, methodological innovations including opportunities and challenges in using intersectional research, and the linkages between intersectionality as a framework and as a form of praxis that challenges inequalities. The course will especially focus on the issues of gender, race, class, nation, sexual orientation, religion, and language in ‘intersectionality in context’ in both the West and the non-West.

Course Aims/Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
At the end of this course, students should:
1. Recognize intersectionality as a theory, paradigm, concept, practice, and politics of social change.
2. Be familiar with current approaches to intersectional research, both discipline-based and interdisciplinary.
3. Recognize practical applications for engaging in intersectional knowledge to achieve institutional change and social justice.
4. Understand the dilemmas of intersectionality as a term applied to different approaches, perspectives, and methodologies.
5. Demonstrate analytical skills in both oral and written forms.

The methods of teaching/learning and assessment, and recommended readings are designed to guide students towards achieving these ILOs.

Teaching/Learning Methods
The methods of teaching/learning include:
1. Teacher-centred instruction (classroom lectures)
2. Student-centred teaching (classroom discussions, exercises based on recommended readings, classroom presentations)
3. Interactive teaching (teacher-student and student co-performed classroom exercises)
4. Technology-based teaching (teaching/learning based on course-related audio-visual materials)
