“…Second, related to this, intersectionality is too singularly associated with one specific field, year and person (Alexander-Floyd, 2012; Collins and Bilge, 2016). Crenshaw’s (1991) work is often cited as the source of intersectionality, yet others were working with the ideas of intersectionality well before this as Crenshaw herself is quick to acknowledge (Guidroz and Berger, 2009; Phoenix, 2006). Collins and Bilge (2016: 83) observe that the oft-made claims that Crenshaw ‘coined’ the term ‘not only routinely neglect the writings and activities of many people who came before Crenshaw, but also misread the full extent of Crenshaw’s arguments’ (see also Tomlinson, 2013).…”

“…Third, as intersectionality has been used and applied in different contexts – often based on shallow misreadings or misunderstandings of it – there are concerns that the concept is depoliticized, separated from its social-justice focused origins (Bilge, 2013), and ‘flattened’ as people’s lives are being separated from their political situations (Fine, cited in Guidroz and Berger, 2009). Such depoliticization encourages the superficial employment of intersectionality.…”

Intersectionality is an approach to research that focuses upon mutually constitutive forms of social oppression rather than on single axes of difference. Intersectionality is not only about multiple identities but is about relationality, social context, power relations, complexity, social justice and inequalities. This report reflects upon the use of intersectionality in social geography and emphasizes the complex histories of intersectionality that are often overlooked in geography. I argue for a greater embrace of the contribution of black feminists and some of the earliest work in geography taking an intersectional perspective. I also argue for intersectionality to be used ethically and with care in geography, rather than it being deployed in a way that unwittingly reproduces a white, colonialist, racist and masculinist discipline. I explore possible avenues for future research about intersectionality in social geographies including a focus upon residential segregation, transnational migration and embodiment.
