Intersections

Intersections - how violence impacts some people more than others.
Time: 29:14
Intersections - Laurie Taylor talks to world-renowned, Black feminist scholar, Patricia Hill Collins, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Sociology at the University of Maryland and author of a new study looking at how violence differentially affects people according to their sex, class, sexuality, nationality, and ethnicity. These invisible workings of overlapping power relations give rise to what she terms 'lethal intersections,' where the risk of death is much greater for some than others. Drawing on a rich tapestry of cases she asks us to think about what counts as violence today and what can be done about it.
They’re joined by Joyce Jiang, Senior Lecturer in Human Resource Management at the University of York, whose latest research examines abuses against female migrant domestic workers in the UK which include long working hours, harsh working conditions, but also verbal, physical and sexual abuses.

Interesting topics / disappointing format

Interesting topics and great speakers that thoroughly know their subject. However, the format is rather dull, overly scripted and pushes one sided views. This podcast could benefit from some actual debate and more diverse perspectives.

Absence of any apparent interest in climate or biodiversity crises

I am a great fan of Laurie’s podcasts but wonder why his interrogations of many interesting contemporary subjects have not, as far as I can tell, included his casting an eye on the two most important subjects for discussion of our time, the destruction of both our climate and biosphere.
