New lived experience videos: Intersectionality
People are multi-faceted in their identities and may identify with several different marginalised or minority groups at the same time. These overlapping identities can result in multiple and intersecting forms of bias, discrimination and disadvantage that can affect areas such as workplace inclusion, educational achievement, and mental and physical health outcomes.
Intersectionality provides a framework for considering people’s overlapping identities and experiences in order to understand the complexity of the biases and prejudices that they face and take steps to address any resulting inequality or discrimination. Combining expert insight, personal stories and original drama, this course explains the concept of intersectionality and looks at how applying an intersectional lens can help us to achieve equity and inclusion in the workplace and beyond.
Our course and short film will be released in January and February 2023 respectively.
