Lecture “The Importance of Intersectionality”

As part of the Jeanne Clery Lecture Series, the 17th annual lecture will focus on the broad theme of “believe survivors” in the context of intersectionality. Although there has been much discourse regarding the narratives of those who have experienced sexual violence, the conversation has not centered on the experiences and perspectives of individuals from marginalized communities. Through this event, we hope to explore the disparities in accessing resources for people with different identities and how we might amplify their voices.

The Jeanne Clery Lecture Series was established by Constance Clery BC ’53 and Howard Clery, Jr. in memory of their daughter, Jeanne Clery.

The Clery Center is a non-profit organization that partners with colleges to ensure campus safety and further violence prevention on campuses. Combining the Clery Center’s mission with an intersectional approach to violence prevention will provide more nuanced recommendations for addressing the complex and multifaceted layers of sexual assault for individuals holding diverse identities.

Moderators:

  • Fiona Cho (BC’24) — Clery Intern
  • Alexa Aalami (BC’ 24) — Clery Intern

Host:

  • Zyaijah Nadler, MS (she/her) — Program Coordinator for Prevention Education (Being Barnard violence prevention program)
