Intersectionality refers to the linked nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group. Consequently creates overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.For example, the attention to intersectionality in a study related to gender opens up possibilities to study varying amounts of experiences depending on specific positions such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group.
