Intersectionality
Intersectionality is defined by the combination of someone’s social and political circumstances to create different modes of discrimination and privilege. Coined by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, the term encompasses sex, race, class, gender, religion, disability and more, and defines how such factors affect those who are the most marginalised in society.
The creator of the term intersectionality, Crenshaw, delivered the TED talk ‘The Urgency of Intersectionality’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akOe5-UsQ2o
