“Intersectionality” and Discrimination Claims Involving Multiple Categories

Speakers: PANELISTS: Oswald Cousins, Miller Law Group, San Francisco, CA John Henderson, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Baltimore, MD LaRell Purdie, SEIU, Washington, DC Anne B. Shaver, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, San Francisco, CA

From its origins in critical race theory, the idea of “Intersectionality,” holds that the classical categories of oppression (race, gender, class, sexual orientation, etc.) do not operate independently, but rather intersect to create multiple, non-discrete forms of discrimination. The law’s embrace of discrimination claims, however, based on “multiple protected categories” has been partial and uneven and awkward to apply (for example, when different bases of discrimination have different statutes of limitations and different burdens of proof). The panel will consider the evolution of judicial treatment and litigation of such claims against the social science theory and the practical experiences of workers and employers.
