Event Type

Join us for a conversation about intersectionality in literature with Min Jin Lee, Tope Folarin, and Douglas Stuart.

Event Description

How do authors engage with intersectional identities?

Human society has a history of categorizing people based on identity markers such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, and many others. We as individuals, however, are so much more complex than our identity markers would suggest. Join us for a complicated and challenging discussion of intersections, featuring novelists Min Jin Lee (Pachinko), Tope Folarin (A Particular Kind of Black Man), and Douglas Stuart (Shuggie Bain). The conversation will be moderated by writer and book critic Bethanne Patrick. Live captioning will be available for this event.

This Cultural Capital program is presented by the museum’s Women, Arts, and Social Change initiative in partnership with the PEN/Faulkner Foundation.
