Students will be able to identify common understandings among them, the relation between personal and political identities in Black feminisms, and shared elements with mainstream or dominant feminisms.
Feminist Approaches to Leadership Lesson Plan

Intersectionality Lesson Plan
In this lesson, students will learn about interlocking oppressions that multiply shape women’s experiences and understand how women build coalitions across differences in the United States and globally through small and large group in-class discussions and an assignment to be completed outside the classroom.
