b"Join us for a conversation with Kimberl\\xe9 Crenshaw, hosted by Janine Jackson, about why intersectionality matters in this moment of crisis.\\n\\xe4The past few months have prompted unprecedented levels of turmoil and unpredictability due to rising alarm over COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2).\\n\\nCoronavirus did not create the stark social, financial, and political inequalities that define life for so many of us, but it has made them more strikingly visible than at any moment in recent history.\\n\\nMeanwhile, the most vulnerable to societal neglect remain most impacted. Unfortunately, some of the intersectional dimensions of these structural disparities remain undetected and unreported.\\n\\nKimberl\\xe9 Crenshaw, Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, is a leading authority in the area of Civil Rights, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism and the law. Her work has been foundational in two fields of study that have come to be known by terms that she coined: Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality.\\n\\nShe is the host of the African American Policy Forum's Under The Blacklight: The Intersectional Failures that COVID Lays Bare, an ongoing livestream series in which thought leaders around the country discuss the current crisis, explore how we can move forward together to protect and uplift the most vulnerable among us, and imagine the world we hope to see emerge on the other side.\\n\\nCrenshaw is also the host of Intersectionality Matters.\\n\\nJanine Jackson is the program directors at Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and producer/host of FAIR\\u2019s syndicated weekly radio show CounterSpin.
