- W97392310 abstract "Although gender, race, and class are often perceived as three separate issues, the intersection of gender, race, and class holds true, whether the researcher is trying to analyze the elements of a group's identity or trying to analyze the social structures that create this identity. A symposium was organized around three separate narrative research projects, which illustrate how gender, race, and class are interconnected in the lives of the women interviewed. This paper delineates the three projects: (1) Lynn Zimmerman's project examined issues of identity and community in white southern culture and community through the narratives of white and black middle class southern women; (2) Laura McQueen examined the role of community and connection in nursing education through the narratives of white and black nursing educators; and (3) Gwendolyn Guy conducted research which focused on issues of class in the black community by analyzing the narratives of upper middle class black women, who are members of an elite service/friendship club. The paper notes that each of these projects illustrates the importance of providing a new way of understanding and connecting to one another through education.

Connecting Women's Voices: A Symposium on the Intersection of Gender, Race, and Class Lynn W. Zimmerman, PhD, Assistant Professor of Education, Purdue University-Calumet Laura McQueen, PhD, Assistant Professor of Nursing, North Carolina A&T University Gwendolyn Guy, PhD, Assistant Professor of Education, East Carolina University Like the specialist who often looks at a particular part of the body rather than assessing the functioning of the body as a whole, social researchers often focus on one aspect of the lives of the group they are researching, neglecting the other influences in the lives and experiences of the participants. Gender, race, and class are aspects that are often perceived as three separate issues. By analyzing the lived experience of 21 women, this symposium demonstrates that gender, race, and class are closely interconnected and cannot be studied in isolation. This intersection holds true whether the researcher is trying to analyze the elements of a group's identity or whether trying to analyze the social structures that create this identity. Feminist theorists, such as Elizabeth Spelman, and bell hooks, support this notion of the interconnectedness of social classifications and group identity. Elizabeth Spelman (Young, 1997) argues that gender cannot be viewed alone as one's identity. She argues that class, sexual orientation, race and other collective identities also play a role in the person's life, and that multiple genders should be discussed, such as black, middle-class women or white, middle-class women. She does caution that such designations should not be taken too far in analysis, however, or groups, which are useful in examining social issues, will dissolve into individual identities. In her discussion of social class and race, bell hooks (2000) says that although social class formation among blacks started prior to slavery, collectively, black folks in the United States have never wanted to highlight the issue of class and class exploitation, even though there have always been diverse caste and class groups among African-Americans(p.8). This symposium is organized around 3 separate narrative research projects, which illustrate how gender, race, and class are interconnected in the lives of the women interviewed. Narrative research methodology, an interpretive method of research, is not concerned with generalizations so much as it is particularity how each person views their own experiences. The researcher looks for patterns within the individual narrative and across narratives. This holistic approach to interpreting narratives draws attention to the interconnections in the experiences of the participants. Within each of the projects presented in the symposium, and among the three projects, the themes of race, gender, and class were common. The project of Lynn W. Zimmerman, Assistant Professor of Multicultural Education at Purdue University-Calumet, examined issues of identity and community in white Southern culture and community through the narratives of white and black middle class Southern women. In the analysis of Southern identity, race plays a primary role. Black women are shaped by their race, because the society in which they live makes race a large part of their identity. White women on the other hand, tend not to see the importance of race in their identity. For them, gender roles and class are more important for creating their identity. Historically class has been viewed as a white rather than a black issue. Gender roles also greatly affect how race is perceived by these women. The patriarchal Southern society historically created separate gender roles and social spheres for men and women, and for white people and black people, so that the gender roles of white and black women did not always coincide.
