Episode 8: Intersectionality with Sarita Pariyar

TROUBLEMAKERS

We speak with Sarita Pariyar, a writer, social justice activist, and the founding convener of the International Darnal Award for Social Justice. She is the principal investigator of Just Futures Initiative (https://www.justfuturespahal.org/).

Sarita speaks of her activism in Nepal, learning and struggling with fellow Dalit women. From Black Lives Matter to Dalit struggles to academia, Sarita helps us explore how our identities and the systems that form us affect our attitudes, ideas, and dispositions in social change work.

We take a look at the intersecting dynamics of caste, social class, race, gender, and sexuality in this episode, and ask what it all means.
You can contact Sarita via her email: [e-mail].

Check out the Intersectionality theory: And learn how forms of oppression (such as racism, sexism, and homophobia) combine to deepen injustice, and how movements can work together to holistically tackle oppression. Our podcast is inspired by the Beautiful Trouble toolbox!
