The main principle of intersectionality 1:
Social identities are not independent and unidimensional but multiple and intersecting
What is intersectionality?
Theoretical framework that examines how intersecting identities interact with one another to influence people’s experiences with discrimination
Main principle 2:
Multiple social identities at the micro level intersect with macro-level structural factors producing social disparities
what is a double jeopardy thesis?
People with multiple subordinate identities are subjected to more prejudice and discrimination than those with a single subordinate identity
Intersectionality research typically involves what type of research
qualitative research
Atewologun & Mahalingam (2018) offer five research practices and tools that qualitative researchers can use when conducting research on intersectionality:
cultivating intersectional reflexivity, revealing privlidge board game, intersectional identity web, intersectional identity work journal, photo voice audiovisual data collection
Cultivating intersectional reflexivity: research should self reflect on their
privlidges
cultivating intersectionality reflexivity: co production of knowledge means (2)
knowledge based/incomplete
Learn from subjects
Penalty board game: goal
to help researcher become aware of their privilege
based on monopoly
Penalty board game: game object
reach ‘picket fenced house’ by rolling dice
chance deck: card=discriminatory experience
generates discussion
Identity web: displays two thing
Web displays dominant (advantaged) and subordinate (disadvantaged) groups
Intersectional identity web: participants plot themselves on the graph, asked questions about how identities work together. in-depth exploration of
subordinate and dominant identities
Intersectional identity web: two forms of research
traditional research, web
Traditional research components
Binary, categorical identities
Advantaged vs. not advantaged
Web components
Advantaged & disadvantaged identities are examined simultaneously
