Intersectionality
Merriam Webster
“The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.”
“Through an awareness of intersectionality, we can better acknowledge and ground the differences among us”
Cultural Intersectionality
What defines a cultural intersection?
Heidi says:
“Mother Earth is no longer composed of countries with designated cultures, but rather “named” land masses that express a diversity of cultures within cultures that are largely influenced by landscapes, ecosystems and dominant cultures, many occupying indigenous unceded territory. The intersection shifts and morphs as it weaves through traditional use of land and food systems, philosophical and political influences and the trauma of conflict and war.”
Who are you?
We all have multiple intersecting identities.
“A core tenet of intersectionality is its focus on the intersecting identities of people from historically oppressed and marginalized groups. Because people from multiple historically oppressed and marginalized populations are its starting point, intersectionality honours the wellness of these populations within their lived realities and from their perspectives. Through this process, your patterns of recognition that exist in a broader frame of social system practices begin to de-center and morph into a multi-faceted prism with intersections of understanding and compassion.”
