Intersectionality in childhood research

Thursday 29th April 2021

This session will provide an introduction to the concept of intersectionality as a framework for theory and praxis which highlights and challenges the complex structural inequalities of gender, race, class and other categories (Crenshaw, 1989).  We highlight some questions and debates that arise from importing intersectionality into childhood research, and bring in examples from our current research.
