Abstract
Intersectionality is a theoretical, methodological, and political perspective that focuses on the inequalities and discriminations generated by the intersections of different social elements: gender, social class, origin, ethnic and cultural background, age, (dis)ability, or language. During this workshop, we will use a range of interdisciplinary tools and methods to understand and analyse interconnected forms of discrimination in the world of work and how trade unions can act to address inclusion in the workplace and introduce an intersectional approach to tackle discrimination.

- To be aware of the multiple forms of inequalities and discrimination that operate in the world of work.
