The term intersectionality was coined in 1989 by American critical legal race scholar Kimberl Williams Crenshaw (1989). However, the central ideas of intersectionality have long historic roots within and beyond the United States. Black activists and feminists, as well as Latina, post-colonial, queer and Indigenous scholars have all produced work that reveals the complex factors and processes that shape human lives.

INTERSECTIONALITY IS BASED ON SEVERAL KEY TENETS:

Human lives cannot be explained by taking into account single categories, such as gender, race, and socio-economic status. Peoples lives are multi-dimensional and complex. Lived realities are shaped by different factors and social dynamics operating together.

When analyzing social problems, the importance of any category or structure cannot be predetermined; the categories and their importance must be discovered in the process of investigation.

Relationships and power dynamics between social locations and processes (e.g., racism, classism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism, sexism) are linked. They can also change over time and be different depending on geographic settings.

People can experience privilege and oppression simultaneously. This depends on what situation or specific context they are in.

-Multi-level analyses that link individual experiences to broader structures and systems are crucial for revealing how power relations are shaped and experienced.

Scholars, researchers, policy makers, and activists must consider their own social position, role and power when taking an intersectional approach. This reflexivity, should be in place before setting priorities and directions in research, policy work and activism.

Intersectionality is explicitly oriented towards transformation, building coalitions among different groups, and working towards social justice.
