Hans Kilian Lecture | Hind Abushkhadim: „Intersectionality in European Union Programmes“

The Hans Kilian und Lotte Köhler-Centrum (KKC) cordially invites you the talk Intersectionality in European Union Programmes by Hind Abushkhadim (University of Bari):

The talk aims to convey an in-depth understanding of how intersectionality is being considered in programmes of the European Union. The ENI CBC MED Programme was implemented as a large-scale EU programme that comprises 80 projects to further achieve the goals of promoting economic and social development and addressing common environmental challenges in the Mediterranean areas. The mediterannean region is well known, for its highly diverse communities that represent various social categories like nationality, language, religion, race , ethnicity, among others.

Although the term intersectionality is relatively new, it is being used as a principle of assessment as it intends to foster a better understanding of discrimination and privilege. The talk will focus on analysing the EU’s understanding of intersectionality, guided by nine key principles, “Intersecting Categories”, “Multilevel Analysis”, “Reflectivity”, “Time and Space”, “The Diversity of Knowledge”, “Power of relations”, “Equity”, “Resistance and Resilience” and “Social Justice” (Hankivsky 2014).
