6 tenets of intersectionality: power, complexity, social inequality, social context, social justice, and relationality (Collins and Bilge, 2016)
privilege and oppression can coexist in intersectional understandings
Work to redefine power differentials and reduce hierarchies in multicultural classrooms
some degree of psychological risk present because of nature of the topic - conflicts, countertransference, defensiveness
Risk for faculty of negative evaluations, impacting career, leading to avoidance of difficult conversations
Work to increase students’ awareness of their own privilege through Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model to mitigate defensiveness. Student may not have chosen what the wider system created, but that they do impact student and other individual’s, having effects on relationships between privileged and marginalized individuals
Avoid identity silos and integrate complexity in how educators speak (ex. Latinx inclusive of all genders for ethnic identification)
Allow sufficient processing time of any exercise/assignment
Discourages monocultural approach of focusing on one cultural group at a time and intentionally integrating intersectionality in questions that connect identities, ask for consideration of multiple identities
Intersectionality is difficult to research, challenges in research basis for this practice
