The Future of Intersectionality in Employment Law

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Book/Film/Article Review

Abstract

Recent social justice movements—such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter—have pushed mainstream American society to reckon with the ubiquity and persistence of systemic sex-based and racial inequities. At the heart of the firestorm are Black women, whose identity at the intersection of sex and race often exposes them to pervasive, but also unique employment discrimination and sexual harassment. Jamillah Bowman Williams’s Beyond Sex-Plus: Acknowledging Black Women in Employment Law and Policy stands out as an exceptional examination of the how courts deal with such “intersectional” claims.
