On Justice #10
Racial (In)Justice in Authoritarian Times
With Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, Cengiz Barskanmaz a.o.
- Dialogue
English /
The event examines racial (in)justice amid authoritarian shifts in the USA and in Germany. Exclusionary nationalism, securitization and repression of protests, anti-migration policies, shrinking spaces for academic freedom and civil society are intensifying longstanding racial inequalities while simultaneously constraining the very legal frameworks designed to challenge racial inequalities. As a founder of Critical Race Theory, Professor Kimberlé W. Crenshaw played a key role in coining the term ‘intersectionality’, which describes how different forms of inequality and discrimination (such as racism and sexism) intersect.
At HAU, she will address the attacks on this theory and processes of legal backsliding, while also reflecting on selected chapters from her newly published memoir “Backtalker”.
