Intersectionality Workshop: Minority Women and Intersectionality: A Renewed Research Agenda?
On the 10th and 11th of July, ECMI`s research cluster Culture & Diversity held a running Intersectionality Workshop: Minority Women and Intersectionality: A Renewed Research Agenda?
Hosting a team of experts from a variety of disciplinary fields, the workshop aimed to unpack the connectivity of intersectionality from a minority perspective. Focusing on national minorities from various European and international contexts, the workshop covered themes related to international organizations standard-setting processes and their effects on minority women; political participation and opportunities of and for national minority women; the impact of AI, social media platforms and media discourse on intersectional representation; the intersectional implications for human rights, migration rights and tribal rights for national minority women; and finally, the value of intersectionality in decolonisation practices, in shaping narratives for vulnerable groups and the interplay of ethno-cultural minority rights and LGBTQIA+ people.
In addition, we engaged in a broader discussion about the role of intersectionality in furthering minority rights. The discussions and research presented at the workshop will be collated into a more in-depth output in the form of an edited volume.
