Throughout the history of the social sciences, scholars have raised questions about the distribution of power and resources in society. While class distinctions were the most evident foci engaged by the " celebrated fathers of sociology", the work of sociologists like W.E. B. Dubois called upon the discipline to complicate discussions about social class differences by examining the dominance of structural barriers preventing individuals from attaining and living out the "values" of a society. DuBois helped to lay the foundation for exploring what it means to live in a society where race regulates social interactions and access to power. This talk will discuss the myriad ways social scientists have interrogated the intersectional spaces occupied by marginalized communities and how their contributions have created a vocabulary and advocacy agenda for social justice engagement.
