Intersectionality in Action: A Conversation with Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw

Known for her foundational work around critical race theory and intersectionality, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw will join us to discuss her work and how she is advancing conversations about intersectionality in our communities and nation. In an intimate conversation hosted by Nellie Mae Incoming Interim President & CEO Dr. Gislaine N. Ngounou, we’ll hear about the work Professor Crenshaw is leading as Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum, and through efforts like the #SayHerName campaign and Black Girls Matter Initiative that center the experiences of Black women and girls. What does critical race theory and intersectionality in action look like in public education? What can funders glean from these concepts to inform their practices?
