Event
Backtalker: An American Memoir by Kimberlé Crenshaw
Livestream featuring speaker Kimberlé Crenshaw, author of An American Memoir.
It is not very often that someone comes along and permanently reshapes the way Americans think about two of the most important issues of the day: race and gender. But that is what Kimberlé Crenshaw, author of An American Memoir, did when she articulated two concepts that would forever change national and global debates about equality: intersectionality and critical race theory.
This livestreamed event, organized by the Columbia Global Paris Center and the Columbia M.A. in History and Literature, with support from the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, will feature Kimberlé Crenshaw in conversation with Keithley Woolward.
