What is intersectionality? Think of it like the ingredients needed to make a cake, Brandeis University lecturer Laurie Nsiah-Jefferson said at a recent Faculty of Arts and Sciences Diversity Dialogue. Take the eggs, milk, flour, and other ingredients, blend them together and bake, and the final product is the cake.

In people, the ingredients are the characteristics they use to identify themselves - male, female, black, white, Muslim, Christian, Bostonian, etc. Like eggs, flour, milk, and sugar intersect to make a cake, those are some of the intersecting ingredients that might make up a person.

During her presentation, "Intersectionality: Definitions, Origins, Controversies, and Applications," Nsiah-Jefferson explained that to better understand an individual and work effectively with him or her, we must understand all the identities that make up the person.

"Human lives cannot be explained by taking into account single categories, such as gender, race, and socio-economic status. People's lives are multi-dimensional and complex," she said.

When only some of the layers of a person's identity are known, he or she can face bias. "People can experience privilege and oppression simultaneously," Nsiah-Jefferson said. As an example, she compared Oprah Winfrey to a black man from Harlem. Winfrey, because of her fame and economic status, has privilege that the black man does not. However, she is still a black woman who can face discrimination. Nsiah-Jefferson cited the case of a shopkeeper in Europe who did not know Winfrey and questioned her ability to pay because of her race.

"People make assumptions. Privilege can only get you so far."

Understanding intersectionality can promote "an understanding of human beings as shaped by the interaction of different social locations," such as race, ethnicity, gender, and class, Nsiah-Jefferson said. "Utilizing intersectionality frameworks can help us more accurately reflect the diversity within higher education in the classroom and in the workplace ... promote greater understanding of how converging identities contribute to inequality [and] help us to avoid simultaneous advancement and perpetuation of inequities.

"Scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and activists must consider their own social position, role, and power when taking an intersectional approach," she said. "Intersectionality is explicitly oriented toward transformation, building coalitions and different groups, and working toward social justice."

In the workplace, Nsiah-Jefferson suggested that leaders should recognize the layers of the people they work with. "If you have not been able to reach certain subpopulations you want to serve, find key stakeholders from these subpopulation groups and interrogate potential barriers," she said. "Don't just assess success of desired outcomes on gender, religious groups, etc., but subpopulations within the larger groups.

"When we say intersectionality, we are saying one size does not fit all," she concluded.

"Intersectionality is an important lens to use in decision-making and resource allocation," said Reema Khan, director of finance and IT systems for FAS Physical Resources and Planning, who attended the dialogue. "When crafting policy or assigning limited resources - such as funding, space, access, titles, opportunity - intersectionality can inform the process to work toward equitable and inclusive results. Considering the layers of intersectionality ensures that all voices are heard and there is a conscious awareness of the trade-offs being made - and their implications."
Intersectionality was the first of three FAS Diversity Dialogues for the academic year. The next, "Muslim Feminism," will be on Dec. 6. The Diversity Dialogues are free and open to the public, and are offered through the FAS Dean's Office, FAS Human Resources, and the FAS Office of Diversity Relations and Communications.

Alicia Keys Wearing no makeup at the VMAs offended a lot of people...but why? It is her OWN face, in fact there were a lot of other people there who DIDN'T wear makeup...like Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas, Michael Phelps etc. But why did she get so much hate? because she is a women and we are expected to look a certain way for society's eyes.

Oh what a night! Kendall Jenner turned 21 when the clock struck midnight on Nov. 3, and of course, she celebrated with a wild party in L.A. The whole family showed up for the bash - Kim Kardashian even made a rare public outing for the big night! See the pics and get some EXCLUSIVE details here!

Birthday girl Kendall Jenner, 21, brought out all the stops for her 21st birthday! The reality star looked beyond stunning as she hit the town at Catch L.A. for her party in a slinky, sequined, silver dress that only fell to the top of her thighs and showed off a TON of cleavage. The barely-there ensemble was completely backless, allowing her to show off the perfect amount of skin in the best way possible. Earlier, she looked super sexy in a snakeskin, skintight black jumpsuit.

Of course, the birthday girl's famous family showed up, too - Kylie Jenner, 19, showed off her bra in a mesh top, Khloe Kardashian, 32, rocked a sexy LBD and Kourtney Kardashian, 37, gave us major leg envy in a short dress of her own. Caitlyn Jenner, 66, Kris Jenner, 60, Corey Gamble, and Scott Disick, 33, also partied with the bday girl, and Kim Kardashian, 36, came out of post-robbery hiding to shower her sister with love, too.

"Kim showed up about an hour late with a swarm of security guards," Drew Hirsch, who was at the bash, tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She left immediately after Kendall got her gift." Considering Kim's only stepped out a handful of times since being held at gunpoint on Oct. 3, it's a pretty big deal for her to attend a wild event like this!

Our insider reveals that Kendall and Scott spent a lot of time together at the party, and from Snapchat, we can see that Kourtney and Kylie were partying and dancing together all night long. Hailey Baldiwn, 19, and the birthday girl's former fling, Travis Scott, were there, too. Click through the gallery above to check out all the pics!

HollywoodLifers, do you think Kendall's birthday looked like a good time?
