What is Intersectionality?
"Intersectionality is a framework that must be applied to all social justice work, a frame that recognizes the multiple aspects of identity that enrich our lives and experiences and that compound and complicate oppressions and marginalizations. A lack of intersectionality leads to an erasure of people and their identities."
Intesectionality is represented as a dialectic of privilege and oppression in this diagram Mary Crawford’s 2006 textbook Transformations: Women, Gender, and Psychology (New York: McGraw-Hill):
An abbreviated history of feminist intersectional thinking, adapted from Ange-Marie Hancock, Intersectionality: An Intellectual History (Oxford University Press, 2015).
Feminist work on intersectionality consists mainly two intellectual projects: (1) the political action of making visible the previously invisible effects of interlocking oppressions, and (2) an analytic approach to the relationships among categories of identity; that is, race, gender, sexuality, class, age, disability, nationality, etc., are mutually constitutive.
