It was a great discussion (Thursday, 8/11).  Wide-ranging, and offering so many directions for thought and/or research. 
Some takeways:
-I think you should definitely pursue a conversation with a historian to discuss how the race/class/gender lenses shapes the work of a historian. 
-no doubt we'll continue to be interested in discussing language, and the importance of having language that is "inclusive" but also shared (or capable of being shared) across groups and generations, enough so for productive discussion.  (This left me wondering if the intersectionality question should include age too - people are very shaped by their cultural moments and the institutions (and laws) that existed during their 'formative years.')
-earlier this week we also discussed the idea of taking time to delve into the construction of "race" as a category - my paper on this subject is too old to be digital but I'll scan it and share it so we can discuss the history of this word.
