IIS 2024 Series: Meeting at the Intersection

At the Institute for Intersectionality Studies, we are excited to announce our latest series, Meeting at the Intersection. The series features new interviews, stories, creative writing, and short research reports showcasing how our community is developing a deeper understanding and commitment to intersectional praxis every day.

If you're working on a project dealing with intersectional themes or methods, we'd love to feature you in the series! Please write to us at intersectionality@ualberta.ca.
