Abstract

The recent intensification of both intersecting inequalities and demands for change calls for an intersectional approach which can account for the complexity of factors and processes structuring social relations, risk and outcomes. Yet intersectionality is thought to be a challenging theory to apply, and represents a puzzle to policymakers and practitioners navigating policy area and equality strand silos. Based on the first empirical study internationally to explore how both practitioners and policymakers themselves understand how to operationalise ‘intersectionality’, this article establishes different ways in which the theory of intersectionality is applied in practice. ‘Intersectionality’ is understood and used in five contradicting ways in UK equality organising and policy, an integral insight because some of these advance intersectional justice while others serve to further entrench inequalities. This typology is proposed as a heuristic to analyse the ways in which intersectionality may be institutionalised in other countries and sectors, and their outcomes, discursive and material.
交叉实践的政治:交叉性的竞争概念
最近相互交织的不平等和要求变革的情况加剧,要求采取一种相互交织的办法,以解释构成社会关系、风险和结果的因素和过程的复杂性。然而,交叉性被认为是一个具有挑战性的理论,对于政策制定者和实践者来说,在政策领域和平等链筒仓中导航是一个难题。基于国际上首次探索实践者和政策制定者如何理解如何实施“交叉性”的实证研究,本文建立了将交叉性理论应用于实践的不同方式。在英国的平等组织和政策中,“交叉性”以五种相互矛盾的方式被理解和使用,这是一个不可分割的洞察力,因为其中一些促进了交叉正义,而另一些则进一步巩固了不平等。这种类型学被提出作为一种启发式的方法来分析在其他国家和部门中交叉性可能制度化的方式,以及它们的结果,话语和材料。
