From buzzword to action: Intersectionality in the Council of Europe’s anti-discrimination work
Abstract
PhDs, Post-Docs, professors as well as interested external auditors, are cordially invited to participate in and contribute to our seminar series titled: “Human Rights: Insights into Today’s Challenges” hosted by the Doctoral School of Law. The aim of the seminar is to have an in depth discussion on a different human rights issue in each seminar. Presentations of 15 to 20 minutes (or up to 30 minutes if we have two or more speakers) will be followed by an open group discussion.
This seminar will explore how intersectionality, a concept introduced by Kimberlé Crenshaw, can be integrated into the Council’s efforts to combat discrimination, addressing the unique vulnerabilities of groups. It will be held during lunchtime (12.00-14.00) with sandwiches for registered participants
