UCLA LAW — Kimberlé Crenshaw, a law professor and civil rights scholar best known for coining the terms “intersectionality” and “critical race theory,” was presented with Yale School of Public Health’s Winslow Medal on Friday. Crenshaw visited New Haven on Feb. 3, where she was greeted with an award ceremony and a teach-in hosted by School of Public Health faculty on the concepts pivotal to her scholarship and career in academia. The teach-in specifically highlighted the significance of Crenshaw’s scholarship as the debate around critical race theory and its role in the American classroom has become fraught with controversy.
