Nafeesa explores Intersectionality as an intervention in radically social times, using the frame of intersectionality as a radical activist intervention to address systemic social issues such as racism, gender inequalities and discrimination in the era of rising global populism. Nafeesa will draw upon theories of feminism, colonialism, philosophy and politics, nuanced with punctuations of humour and entertainment. -- Nafeesa Nizami (Naz) is a Psychotherapist, Trainer and Lecturer.
