🧠 What Makes You Human?
This interdisciplinary event brings together scholars, practitioners, and artists from across the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields. The Intersectional Lived Experience Conference invites you to explore how our identities – race, gender, ability, culture, and more – shape the way we live, work, and connect.
This conference is a platform for diverse voices – from disability studies to fashion, from queer theory to social work – to challenge assumptions, share lived realities, and re-imagine human experience through intersectional lenses.
