The lecture series invites participants to engage in conversations, discussions, and explorations of intersectionality through the lens of Area Studies, with a focus on Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions, particularly Latin America. Throughout a variety of presentations, the series aims to delve into different visions of intersectionality by embracing intercultural dialogue and shedding light on inequalities, forms of discrimination, and challenges facing the region today.

Drawing on a broad spectrum of literary studies, social sciences, and gender studies, among others, the lecture series offers a comprehensive understanding of different perspectives on intersectionality. By emphasizing the importance of different loci of enunciation, it seeks to foster a nuanced dialogue that respects and acknowledges different points of view.

Overall, the lecture series aims to raise awareness among students, scholars, and the public in order to develop a critical understanding of identity constructions and historical inequalities. Committed to the critical analysis of intersectionality and Area Studies, the initiative continues to provide an open space for transcultural dialogue.

This series will take place throughout the winter semester 2024/25. Supported by the ScienceCampus, the series organized by Anne Brüske with Minerva Peinador, Barbara Aranda and Joanna Moszczyńska of DIMAS. It will feature talks, a workshop and an artistic performance.
