We are joined today by Akwugo Emejulu, professor of sociology at the University of Warwick. She was the keynote speaker at the European Conference on Gender and Politics which was held in Amsterdam last week. I asked Professor Emejulu to come on the podcast to talk about intersectionality and more specifically about her research on how women of colour activists in Europe strategize and organize against illiberal practices. We also talk about lots of other stuff, including the ‘arms race’ in academia, intersectionality and academic feminism, the invention of ‘race’ and the concept of ‘whiteness’, and much more.
