FemTechNet Critical Race & Ethnic Studies Pedagogy Workbook

Intersectionality

An Intersectional Approach

 

Starter Bibliography

The references below represent starting points. This builds on a bibliography designed by Michael Mirer to share recent and foundational work on intersectionality with his fellow graduate students at Brandeis University. As part of the CRES Workbook, the bibliography is a living document that will continue to grow with suggestions by members of the FemTechNet Ethnic Studies Committee. We encourage you to share your own favorite readings at femtechnetcres@gmail.com.
