About the Program

While many are familiar with traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts, intersectionality—the unique forms of discrimination, oppression, and marginalization that can result from the interplay of two or more identities—can have a profound effect on all players within the legal system.  What is it?  And is it a useful lens to address inequities in the legal system and workplace?  How do intersectional experiences connect to broader systems of structural inequities within society, and what can that tell us as we strive to bring equity and inclusion into our workplaces, the justice system, and society?  Join us as we explore these concepts with our distinguished panelists.

You Will Learn

• About the concept of intersectionality
• About the interconnectedness of intersectionality and structural inequality
• About the role of intersectionality in creating a more equitable and inclusive lens
