Intersectionality as buzzword

Updated: Oct 26, 2021



Davis, K. (2008). Intersectionality as buzzword: A sociology of science perspective on what makes a feminist theory successful. Feminist theory, 9(1), 67-85.


There is a lot of buzz (and misunderstanding) about intersectionality. In this article, Davis defines intersectionality as "the interaction between gender, race, and other categories of difference in individual lives, social practices, institutional arrangements, and cultural ideologies and the outcomes of these interactions in terms of power."
