FEMST 20 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Intersectionality
Document Summary
Fem 20 notes: subjectivity: everything has a bias- not one truth to one question bc everyone has own experiences & realities; objective knowledge more valuable (math, science) Identity is something we choose or posses/come to acquire- refers to many categories (gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, body size, age, religion/secularity, nationality, citizenship status) Identity as production= how society gives meaning to an identity category as opposed to belonging to an individual person. Identities position us differently & inequitably: the way we see ourselves judged by interaction w/others.
