When considering identity, especially the various identities that may or may not be represented within your organization, it is important to recognize that everyone has multiple identities. Intersectionality is a term and concept that was coined to describe the interconnected and overlapping nature of social identities. In this workshop, we will define intersectionality, review various manifestations of identity-based privileges and lack thereof, and discuss how we can consider multiple and intersecting identities within the workplace.

The workshop modules are broken down into the following sections:

• Define: Intersectionality and the origins of this framework
• Unpack: applications of intersectionality to the working world
• Identify: manifestations of privileges and inequities that are linked to identity
• Address: multiple and intersecting identities within the workplace.
