		<description><![CDATA[While the day-to-day administration of the work of the Policy Forum is undertaken by full-time and part-time staff under the direction of our Executive and Program Directors, we rely on a community of exceptionally creative thought leaders and writers from both the academy and civil society to help us advance our work.  We meet with these individuals informally during the course of the year, and work intensively with them in a workshop setting each summer. In this respect, the Social Justice Writer&#8217;s Retreat affords us the opportunity to bring together a community of writers from disparate fields: a) to provide critical feedback to one another on their current &#8220;writings in progress&#8221; on social justice issues; and b) to offer constructive critiques of Policy Forum projects designed to advance social justice goals. Participants not only receive valuable input from peers on the articles and books that they are developing, but they]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson School of Law news: &#8220;Intersectionality&#8221; is a term that may have been new to many of the people who attended the 10th Annual Women and the Law Conference at Thomas Jefferson School of Law on Friday, April 30, but now they have a much better grasp of this significant legal concept. Indeed, the conference was titled &#8220;Women of Color and Intersectionality: Understanding and Addressing Challenges&#8221; with the specific goal of creating more awareness about this dilemma that impacts untold numbers of women in this country who seek relief from race and sex-based discrimination. Who better to define intersectionality than Professor Kimberle Crenshaw of UCLA and Columbia law schools? She was this year&#8217;s Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lecturer at the conference, which was presented jointly by TJSL&#8217;s Women and The Law Project and UCLA Law School&#8217;s Critical Race Studies program.
