Supporting Students IntersectionALLY
Description
In the words of Audre Lorde, “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” This interactive presentation will address the historical context of Intersectionality, how research supports the use of intertersectionality, and the importance of intersectionality in Catholic Social Teaching. We will discuss intentional ways of using intersectionality in supporting students, how to implement this approach within our work in Catholic Student Affairs, and how to take flight and bring your programming and student pastoral care to the next level through supporting students intersectionALLY.
Connection to Theme: Taking Flight: Developing Leaders for the Common Good- Father Gustavo Gutiérrez, OP stated, “[Neighbor is] not the one whom I find in my path, but rather the one in whose path I place myself, the one whom I approach and actively seek.” Intentionally incorporating intersectionality in our work as Student Affairs Practitioners allows us to take flight with our work and bring our ability to support students to the next level. This work is also founded in the principle of common good, as we do this work, as it is how we support our students’ full selves.
