Revisited: Work in the Intersections: A Black Feminist Disability Framework

Dr. Moya Bailey, Assistant Professor of Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies and of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Northeastern University, visited the University of California, Berkeley's campus Monday, March 5 to present a lecture and speech regarding the intersectionality of identities, and how one might encorporate their several identities into the work they do and the way in which they are viewed.

Work in the Intersections: A Black Feminist Disability Framework drew a crowd of about 62 avid listeners, eager to hear Dr. Bailey share narratives about disability, blackness, and gender while shedding light on important questions we must ask ourselves. How can we revision the workforce and create justice for disabled communities of color who are also female-identifying? How can we bring them justice in a history that has only focused on disabled white politics? Bailey describes the slow shifts in politics acknowledging intersectionality, with her presentation based off of a forthcoming article co-authored by her and Izetta Mobley.
