Intersectionality in the American South

The South is a dynamic place and idea, but it is a space still operating hegemonically out of imposed racialized, gendered, and religious categories, neglecting more nuanced understandings of human identities and experiences. Through the lens of intersectionality, the Georgia State University Collective will explore this dynamic and often contentiously transforming South, unearthing the unspoken and unacknowledged elements that continue to obstruct its effective engagement with the present.

The Georgia State University Collective initiative has been planned for a 42-month duration and organized around the following yearly themes:

1. Historical Foundations and Academic Approaches to Intersectionality in the South.
2. Southern Intersectionality and Social Justice.
3. Science, Technology, and Intersectionalities of Disparity in the Transnational South. Events and programming will be enriched through a podcast, “Stories from the South,” that will provide an avenue for extending conversations beyond the scheduled face-to-face programming.
