Intersectional Future – Where I’m At

Posted on by taanihendriks

This post is a little catch up on where I’m at with my project Intersectional Future. So far there is definite room for improvement, in which I have outlined a few ways I have addressed some issues that were highlighted by myself and by my peers. I hope to continue my work in highlighting the many intersecting forms of oppression that many people face, how they overcome it, how it’s shown in the media 10 years ago, how those facing oppression are reported on in the present, how those facing oppression will be reported on 10 years into the future and if we are on the right path towards equality (Carastathis, 2014).

Intersectionality is a term that was coined in 1989 by Kimberlé Crenshaw and has since gone on to elaborate and evolve the term to how it is used today. In its simplest form, intersectional feminism attempts to address that oppression is not through single characteristics and that they often intersect in a person. That many different forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, ableism and queerphobia can intersect and therefore marginalise a person further (Carastathis, 2014). However, through the social movement #intersectional_future (and @intersectional_future) I hope to bring to light the many faces of those in defiance of intersectional oppression and working towards holistic equality.
