The 2023 Mary Wollstonecraft Annual Lecture:
"Reconfiguring Ideas of Gender Inequality and Intersectionality: A Latin American Perspective"
Dr Martha Zapata Galindo (Free University of Berlin, Germany)

Abstract
This paper explores how intersectionality has reconfigured research on gender inequalities in an international context. It reconstructs how the concept of intersectionality circulated from the global North to Latin America (especially Colombia and Brazil) and how the circulation of this concept has transformed the discussion within gender studies in Latin America. It shows the specific features that distinguish intersectional research on gender inequalities in Latin America from related research conducted in the global North.
