INTERSECTIONALITY:
A theory and methodology developed in feminist studies, intersectionality (Crenshaw 1989) reveals and explains the ways in which
identity categories, such as gender, race, sexual orientation, ability and other axes of identity, intersect to produce multiple and
varied lived experiences and inequalities. Intersectionality helps us understand how our multidimensional racialized, gendered,
and sexualized social identities shape our experiences of power and oppression.

“[W]hen we don’t acknowledge the intersection, where the places of power overlap, we not
only fail to see the women who fall between our movements, sometimes we pit our
movements against each other.” Kimberlé Crenshaw (1994)
in the service of learning.
