Summary:

This guide introduces researchers to intersectionality as a research framework for studying complex human experiences. Intersectionality, first articulated by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989), emphasizes how overlapping social identities, such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability intersect to produce unique forms of privilege and oppression. The guide traces the historical and disciplinary genealogy of intersectionality, from its roots in nineteenth-century Black feminist thought to its evolution across critical legal studies, social sciences, and queer theory. It explains key principles, including relationality, contextuality, and the dynamic nature of power, and offers practical steps for developing an intersectional research framework. These steps include reflexivity, prioritizing accessibility and universal design, valuing diverse epistemologies, and analyzing identity intersections across time and space. The guide offers a real-life example that illustrates how intersectionality can be used as a research framework, demonstrating its applicability beyond academia. By integrating intersectionality into research design, data generation, and analysis, readers will learn to move beyond single-axis approaches and produce more inclusive, equitable, and context-sensitive scholarship.
