This book brings together researchers from different fields who are using intersectionality as an analytical lens to deconstruct, reflect, define, redefine, empower, (dis)empower, and critically discern the impetus of socio-cultural phenomena in everyday life. Since its initiation, intersectionality has developed into a theoretical research paradigm that aims to comprehend how different social identities interact and define societal power hierarchies. As it is concerned in its foundation with issues of power and injustice, intersectionality is a powerful theoretical framework to make visible the systems of oppression that uphold power hierarchies and organise society as a result of which many intriguing new research questions and analyses have been generated. This book uses intersectionality as a theoretical framework which posits that social identity categories, including but not limited to race, gender, class, age, religion, and sexual orientation are intricately linked, and concurrently generate experiences of privilege and marginalisation. It seeks to provide contemporary notions of intersectionality while staying true to its core values. This book also strengthens and extends the original Black Feminist perspective to include intersectional nuances in spaces outside of the United States, while also reclaiming and grounding methodological and epistemological notions in Black Feminist thought. It serves as a useful resource for administrators, scholars, academics, and practitioners in interdisciplinary fields (including STEM, education, business, and similar disciplines). Additionally, the focus of this book supports a transdisciplinary perspective that will engage members of the wider community who have an interest in intersectionality.
