Intersectionality
Definition: Intersectionality is a theoretical and analytical framework that examines how multiple, socially stratified identities (e.g., race, gender, socioeconomic status, migration status) intersect at the individual level and are embedded within interdependent systems of power (e.g., racism, sexism, classism). It emphasizes that inequalities are not simply additive but are produced through the dynamic interaction of these dimensions across time and context, shaping heterogeneous trajectories of exposure, risk, and opportunity over the life course.
