Description
Intersectionality is a recently developed construct coined by critical race theorist, Kimberlé Crenshaw. It can be defined as the interlocking of identities that often entail two forms of discriminations at the same time. I research how these different forms of discrimination may interact with one another from a legal perspective. More narrowly, I will examine cases under Title VII that allege biases within employment. By utilizing the data comprised by Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Litigation Project at Washington University Law, I research Title VII claims. I compare success rates among three type of Title VII allegations: race discrimination, gender discrimination, and intersectional discrimination of both.
