This is only a test because I have, literally, NO IDEA what I am doing for this assignment.CNoemiM (talk) 17:07, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Your assignment was merely to choose any of Wikipedia's pages and make a suggestion on the article's talk page. If you are interested in sports, for instance, you could find a spot on the football page that might benefit from the addition of a sub-section on lingerie football. If your interest is in politics, you might find a spot where an article might benefit from the addition of material on the ways in which men's coverage differs from women's coverage. You don't actually need to make those changes, you just need to point to one place on Wikipedia that may be strengthened based on your familiarity with our course content. Hope that helps!

Intersectionality Sources

=== Annotated Bibliography - 11 sources

Brah, A., & Phoenix, A. (May 01, 2004). Ain't I a Woman? Revisiting Intersectionality.Journal of International Women's Studies, 5, 3, 75-86. The authors discuss the historical events, past and recent from anti-slavery and women’s suffrage to gulf war, and the relevance they continue to have on the intersections of race, class, gender and/or sexuality in present day by using primary sources and empirical research texts. The authors also review, at the time, recent theories and concepts to stimulate further discussions on intersectionality.

Crenshaw, K. (1991). Mapping the margins: Intersectionality, identity politics, and violence against women of color. Stanford law review, 1241-129. As the scholar to introduce the theory of intersectionality Crenshaw follows up in this article a discussion on how identity politics of women of color is still being marginalized within groups of gender and race and to further explore the issues related to violence against women of color.

Hancock, A.-M. (January 01, 2005). W.E.B. Du Bois: Intellectual Forefather of Intersectionality?. Souls, 7, 74-84. Hancock’s intersectionality analysis draws upon the perspective of W.E.B. Du Bois by using his work as her primary source that in its deep intellectual prose offers support to current day intersectionality theory and political world. Hancock, A.-M. (January 01, 2007). Intersectionality as a Normative and Empirical Paradigm. Politics & Gender, 3, 2, 248-254. In this article Hancock appeals to the understanding that intersectionality is far more than the scholarly specialized work within women studies. Intersectionality requires a more broadened audience in the political world and the power wielded that is excludes intersections globally.

Holvino, E. (May 01, 2010). Intersections: The Simultaneity of Race, Gender and Class in Organization Studies. Gender, Work & Organization, 17, 3, 248-277. In this article Holvino calls for a new concept to be drawn on practices related to identity, institutions, and society with regard to intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and class. The call is for organizations to include more people of color, more funded research and societal links to be connected and practiced by widening a better understanding of intersections.

Intersectionality. (June 01, 2007). Politics & Gender, 3, 2, 229-232. In this brief editorial, a focus is made on how individual subjects of multiple identities known as intersectionality changes the political landscape when it is taken into consideration. It provides information on five scholarly articles on the topic of which I have also sourced. Jones, S. J. (2003). Complex Subjectivities: Class, Ethnicity, and Race in Women's Narratives of Upward Mobility. Journal Of Social Issues, 59(4), 803. doi:10.1046/j.0022-4537.2003.00091.x. Jones raises issues of how intersections of working class professors require more attention by using personal narratives in her analysis and a call for research and activism to include social class understanding in academic and public education.

McCall, L. (March 01, 2005). The Complexity of Intersectionality. Signs, 30, 3, 1771-1800. McCall questions the limited teaching practices of intersectionality as part of the interdisciplinary section of women studies. The primary focus is to discuss, with supporting evidence, how to expand research on intersectionality by opening inhibiting concerns that create obstacles for a bigger scope on the topic.

Nakano-Glenn, Evelyn. Unequal Freedom: How Race and Gender Shaped American Citizenship and Labor. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2004. Print. I have chosen specific pages and examples to assist me in defining intersectionality and relationality from Nakano-Glenn as additional supporting evidence. The literature covers an array of other subjects such as history, sociology, theory and concepts. I have chosen to use the simplest sections of the material to assist me in my project focus of intersectionality.

Phoenix, A. (August 01, 2006). Editorial: Intersectionality. European Journal of Women's Studies, 13, 3.). Phoenix introduces the value and importance of intersectionality stimulated by the European Journal of Women’s Studies 10th anniversary and draws attention to the increasing number of conferences focused on intersectionality. The editorial directs reader to the key topics that will be discussed in the journal by various scholarly articles on intersectionality.

Velasquez, Tanya. Lecture at University of Washington: Women, Race, and Class. Theory, concepts, research, definition provided for topic of intersectionality project. The various class materials created an understanding of how intersectionality and relationality impacts social structures in Western culture and deepens critical thinking of its influence in daily operations through raising the awareness of how America’s social structures impact race, class, and gender.

Weber, L. (1998). A conceptual framework for understanding race, class, gender, and sexuality. Psychology of Women Quarterly, 22(1), 13-32. In this article Weber provides a basic six piece section of explanation in order to provide an understanding of the most common themes found in intersectionality. The intersectional themes discussed are context, social constructions, systems of power, macro (social structural) and micro (social psychological), simultaneous expression, and interdependence of knowledge and activism.

Intersektionalitet Organization. (2011). http://www.intersektionalitet.org/en/what-is-intersectionality-3/. Website created in Sweden in association with Civis, an international peace organization, and supported by Ungdomsstyrelsen, National Board for Youth Affairs, a Swedish government agency, that focuses on providing information related to intersectionality such as literature, organizations, events, and discussion forum based on the topic. Although updates seem to be abandoned access to other sources are available. ===CNoemiM (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Intersectionality may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 04:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Overall I think that you did a great job about explaining what intersectionality is. I liked how you actually put in a definition of what the term means because it is very straight forward and gets the point across. My only suggestion would be to add in some examples of intersectionality on more of a social aspect rather than personal. For example, the potential causes, effects, and attitudes towards it. Great job overall! Cassmariepeterson77 (talk) 07:09, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cassie, I appreciate your feedback, however, I am not sure you have read the article in its entirety. All the examples given are far from personal. The discourse is about institutional inequities that impact our society directly and indirectly. Once again I appreciate your feedback.
