ISC at SC State sponsors events that encourage scholarship and discussion related to intersectionality, a framework with the goal of understanding how aspects of individual identity (which can include but are not limited to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and religion) intersect to construct different degrees of power and powerlessness.

The ISC also announces the inclusion of a permanent panel or set of panels on Intersectional Feminisms to acknowledge the origins of Intersectional Studies within Intersectional Feminisms, with the work of scholars such as Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law, Columbia Law School. Since this pioneering work, Intersectional Studies has expanded, but maintains its core focus of understanding how how aspects of individual identity (which can include but are not limited to gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, and religion) intersect to construct different degrees of power and powerlessness.
