Much has been said about the theoretical and methodological journey of intersectionality from the United States to Europe within feminist studies. A shift away from the intersection of race and gender in favor of focus on gender, ethnicity, and migration has taken place in the Nordic region, where the role of the categories ‘race’ and racialization have been neglected. However, during the last decade, we have witnessed a steady rise in critical studies on whiteness, racialization and racism within the Nordics across disciplines both within social science and humanities. In such studies intersectionality has both directly and indirectly guided these studies.

The aim of this seminar is to address and discuss how intersectionality can help us to explore how the markers of racialisation intersects with other markers such as gender, class, sexuality, nationality etc. within the context of Europe.

By stressing the empirical setting of Europe this seminar further discuss how the marker of race and racialized hierarchy, as one of the ‘original’ markers or hierarchies, has returned to intersectionality studies – just in another geopolitical setting. Thus, the seminar will ask: What kind of differences do we see when intersectionality travels? and is intersectionality still a useful analytical lens?
