Intersectional feminism, Women’s Spirituality, and Birth Justice panel discussion.
with Clarice Gargard, Bahareh Goodrazi and Safa Kamdideh.
We shed light on essential topics pivotal to advancing intersectional feminism such as midwifery within the healthcare system and academia, spirituality in art and Western media, and spirituality and religion in Western academia. While these themes may initially seem disparate, exploring them collectively unveils the underlying impacts of oppressive systems. These systems not only influence public opinion and shape outcomes in publications but also contribute to the subtle construction of inequity.
