intersectionality

The ninth episode of the INSPIRE Unplugged Dialogue is actually an excerpt from one of the Knowledge Exchange Events we've held within the project. Specifically, this is a panel discussion that involved:

  • Marta Warat, Jagiellonian University, Poland (as moderator) and
  • Anna Knapińska, National Information Processing Institute, Poland 
  • Gabriela Langhammerová, Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences
  • Karolina Lendák-Kabók, ELTE University, Hungary
  • Graciela Morgade, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, University of Buenos Aires 

The discussion revolved around how the concept of intersectionality can be understood and applied beyond its theoretical foundations. More policy-orientated, this panel seeked to explore how intersectionality operates in different regional contexts - particularly Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America - and to examine the challenges and possibilities of translating intersectional thinking into concrete public policies and institutional practices - of course, building on insights from our project.
