SUMMARY:Family Action Network (FAN) - Backtalker: An American Memoir
UID:642022@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, Critical Race Theory and intersectionality are among the most talked about and most misunderstood topics of the day. To truly understand where these ideas came from\, you must start with the woman who founded them: Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw.  Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law Schools\, Crenshaw is widely recognized for coining and developing both CRT and intersectionality. Her new book\, Backtalker: An American Memoir\, is the powerful and intimate story of how a spunky little girl from Canton\, OH came up with a new way to look at the world and forever changed the way we talk about race\, gender\, and social justice. The examples from her own life\, recounted with warmth\, humor\, and insight\, illuminate how intersectionality emerged not from abstract ideas\, but from lived experience.  Crenshaw will be in conversation with Beth E. Richie\, Distinguished Professor of Criminology\, Law\, and Justice and Black Studies and the Inaugural Chair in Social Sciences and the Humanities at The University of Illinois at Chicago. The emphasis of her scholarly and activist work has been on the ways that race/ethnicity and social position affect the experience of violence and criminalization\, focusing on the experiences of Black women and gender non-conforming people.\n\nMore Info: https://www.familyactionnetwork.net/events/backtalker-an-american-memoir/
