Intersectionality (or intersectional theory) is a term first coined in 1989 by American civil rights advocate and leading scholar of critical race theory, KimberlÃ© Williams Crenshaw. It is the study of overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination.
Intersectionality has become a defining rubric in the field of womenâs and gender studies. Levin 2007 attests to this pervasive pattern in womenâs and gender studies programs; Smith 2006 confirms the pattern in graduate programs in this field.
