None of us have just one identity. The concept of intersectionality highlights how multiple, overlapping identities and identity markers—such as race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and religion—contribute to how marginalized groups experience discrimination. On June 15, 2021, the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications (C4DISC), in collaboration with SSP’s DE&I Committee, hosted a panel discussion on intersectionality. Speakers Axelle Ahanhanzo, Laura Martin, Andolyn Medina, and Derek Victor explored what intersectionality means, how it can shape our social and professional experiences, and what we can do to better support ourselves and our colleagues. A recording of the discussion is embedded at the end of this post.
