Kimberlé Crenshaw

https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/kimberle-crenshaw/

Kimberlé Crenshaw, avvocata e attivista statunitense esperta in teoria critica della razza è la donna che ha rivoluzionato il femminismo.

Per prima, infatti, ha introdotto il concetto di intersezionalità come ipotesi sociologica in un articolo scritto per il Forum legale dell’Università di Chicago nel 1987.

Dal titolo Emarginare l’intersezione tra razza e genere: una critica femminista nera della dottrina dell’antidiscriminazione, della teoria femminista e della politica antirazziale, forniva uno studio che evidenzia la discriminazione a cui sono soggette le donne nere e precarie negli Stati Uniti.

Kimberlé Crenshaw definisce l’intersezionalità come una situazione in cui una persona mette insieme caratteristiche razziali, sociali, sessuali e spirituali che la rendono soggetta a diverse forme di discriminazione. La sfida particolare è che le leggi guardano al genere e alla razza separatamente e di conseguenza le afroamericane e le altre donne di colore sperimentano forme di discriminazione sovrapposte e la giurisprudenza, ignara di come combinarle, le lascia senza giustizia.

Specializzata in diritto costituzionale, insegna alla UCLA School of Law e alla Columbia Law School dove ha fondato il Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies.

Presiede anche il Center for Intersectional Justice  di Berlino.

Nata a Canton, in Ohio, il 5 maggio 1959, la prima laurea conseguita è stata in scienze politiche e  africanistica. Ha conseguito un dottorato a Harvard e un master all’Università del Wisconsin. Successivamente si è laureata in giurisprudenza all’Università della California di Los Angeles ed è diventata docente universitaria nel 1995.

Tiene seminari e conferenze in tutto il mondo. I suoi interessi di ricerca, divulgazione e formazione sono i diritti civili, il femminismo nero, il concetto di razza, il razzismo e i loro legami con la legge.

È direttrice e fondatrice del think tank African American Policy Forum che si concentra su questioni di genere e diversità con la missione di costruire ponti tra ricerca accademica e discorso pubblico nell’affrontare la disuguaglianza e la discriminazione.

Fa parte della Women’s Media Initiative e collabora con varie riviste tra cui Ms Magazine e The Nation. È una commentatrice regolare del The Tavis Smiley Show.

Ha scritto il documento di base sulla discriminazione razziale e di genere per la Conferenza mondiale delle Nazioni Unite sul razzismo, fatto parte del Comitato per la ricerca sulla violenza della National Science Foundation Against Women e del gruppo del CNR sulla ricerca sulla violenza contro le donne.

Nel 2015, è stata inserita nell’Ebony Power 100 ed è risultata al primo posto nella classifica delle personalità femministe della rivista Ms Magazine. L’anno successo ha parlato di intersezionalità in un seguitissimo Ted Talk.

Dal 2018 conduce il podcast Intersectionality Matters.

È molto attiva nel movimento Say Her Name, che cerca di far fuoriuscire dall’invisibilità le donne nere vittime della violenza della polizia.

Il suo lavoro ha influenzato la stesura della clausola di uguaglianza nella Costituzione del Sud Africa.Si è occupata ampiamente anche di molestie sul posto di lavoro.

Tra i vari libri scritti ricordiamo:

Parole che feriscono: teoria della razza critica, discorso d’assalto e primo emendamento e Teoria della corsa critica: documenti chiave che hanno plasmato il movimento.

Kimberlé Crenshaw speaks on the importance and urgency of intersectionality.

Kimberle Crenshaw on Intersectionality.

Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both.

4. Intersectionality in Black Lives Matter

The marking of intersectionality started with Crenshaw when she created the word herself to talk about the overlapping of different forms of discrimination and how it is important for the term to be included in conversations in order for us to better understand it.

In this video talking about intersectionality, Crenshaw talks about the importance of a frame of discrimination like intersectionality in order to better understand how different levels of discrimination take place. In the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, intersectionality is marked through the Say Her Name campaign.

Posted @withregram • @sylviaduckworth HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS’ DAY! This drawing is based on a photograph of @rachel.cargle and @danasuchow by Kennedy Carroll, taken at the 2017 Women’s March in Washington. Intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw @kimberlecrenshaw, is the acknowledgment that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and privilege. For example, someone with multiple marginalities will be discriminated against on more than one level. White Feminism: A form of feminism that focuses on the struggles of white women while failing to address distinct forms of oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges. Intersectional Feminism: Aims to separate itself from white feminism by acknowledging women's different experiences and identities. THIS IS THE FEMINISM THAT WE ALL NEED TO PRACTICE. On slide 2 is a visual representation of Intersectionality. Please be sure to follow Ms. Cargle, Ms. Suchow and Dr. Crenshaw if you don’t already and support their important work. [Image description: Dana Suchow on the left is holding a sign that says “Protect: Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, Muslim, Latinx, Jewish, Disabled, Trans, Fat, Poor, women. The sign is yellow with black letters. Rachel Cargle is to the right holding a pink sign with black letters that says “If you don’t fight for all women, you fight for no women.” The Washington Capitol building is in the background with bare trees. There is snow on the ground. Dana is wearing a grey tuqure and black clothing. Rachel is wearing a red turban with black clothing.] https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLKqh6s3jd/?igshid=174ztcv9n8ao5

Took me no time to write this poem/rap/spoken word at all. I know it too well.

Biracial/Mixed narratives have no space of our own and do not have the comfort of true community. So ill claim my own space and keep writing my own narrative. Still trying to separate from the sociological conception of race and gender roles, understand and identify myself on my own terms. 

Intersectional lenses have been prescribed to society (thank you Kimberle Crenshaw) but not enough people are wearing them yet. Until that day comes I wont be seen clearly.

Grateful for the love and community ive found within individuals in my life. Grateful for the will to be free.

When you find out you’ve donated 1 MILLION DOLLARS to charities working to end systemic racism with your #hamfam !! Thank you @loopedlive team & @oaksmash Thank you to @kimberlecrenshaw for founding @aapolicyforum & for your personal thank you during this meet & greet. It was an honor - just look at my face.

“It is clear to me now that the Republic no longer functions. I pray you will bring sanity and compassion back to the Senate.” - Padmé Amidala . . While I have your attention, I’d like to direct you towards @intersectionalitymatters , the IG page for the podcast Under the Blacklight, hosted by @kimberlecrenshaw of the @aapolicyforum. This podcast discusses intersectional inequality that the Covid pandemic has made evident. . . I highly recommend the podcast for anyone looking to get educated on the intricacies of racial inequality—the African American Policy Forum is a reputable think tank based out of @columbialawschool and these professionals explain the social and legal issues involved with the current crisis. News is inclined to bias and sensational language, so academic sources such as the AAPF may be more equipped to educate us on the fundamental issues at play here. . .

“The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire.” ― Audre Lorde, “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” . . .

2. Intersectionality

This is a term that most people know, but for those who don’t, intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 to describe a frame of overlapping of more than one form of discrimination (Cooper). The forms of discrimination include racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, class discrimination, ableism and many more (Crenshaw, Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex 139-141) (Crenshaw, Why Intersectionality Can’t Wait) Since the introduction of the word, intersectionality has been included in many conversations both in the academic sphere as well as mainstream media. With the rise of movements like Black Lives Matter and the fight for Gun Control, the inclusion of intersectionality in those conversations has become more important than ever. However, the problem that remains is that intersectionality is still not automatically included in these conversations.

Educate #Repost @consciouslee with @get_repost ・・・ #BlackHistoryMonth “Black feminism is a school of thought stating that sexism, class oppression, gender identity and racism are inextricably bound together. The way these concepts relate to each other is called intersectionality, a term first coined by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. In her work, Crenshaw discussed Black feminism, which argues that the experience of being a black woman cannot be understood in terms of being black or of being a woman. Instead, each concept should be considered independently while including the interactions that frequently reinforce each other. Black feminism became popular in the 1960s, as the impact of the Civil Rights Movement that excluded women and the racism of feminist movement. From the 1970s to 1980s, black feminists formed various groups which addressed the role of black women in black nationalism, gay liberation, and second-wave feminism. In the 1990s, the Anita Hill controversy placed black feminism in a mainstream light. Black feminist theories reached a wider audience in the 2010s, as a result of social media advocacy. Proponents of black feminism argue that black women are positioned within structures of power in fundamentally different ways from white women. The distinction of black feminism has birthed the derisive tag "white feminist", used to criticize feminists who do not acknowledge issues of intersectionality. Critics of black feminism argue that racial divisions weaken the strength of the overall feminist movement.” However Black Feminism cannot be simply reduced to perpetuating Racial Division 🤷🏿‍♂️ #BlackFeminism #AliceWalker #PatriciaHillCollins #bellhooks #KimberleCrenshaw #LupeDavidson #ShanaraReidBrinkley #AngelaDavis #BlackWomen #BlackWomyn #BlackFemininity @blakeb_sucker @king_george_tv @antoine_maono @the_political_plug (at Bishop Arts District)
