“…Initially, intersectionality was conceptualized as “a way of framing the various interactions of race and gender in the context of violence against women of color” in the United States (Crenshaw, 1991, p. 1296). The concept has traveled within the U.S. academy (e.g., Asher, 2007; Cho, Crenshaw, & McCall, 2013; Cole, 2009; Collins, 2000; Gillborn, 2015; Gonzalez, Tefera, & Artiles, 2015; Grant & Zwier, 2011; Patil, 2013; Pillow, 2017; Posey-Maddox, 2017) and has recently been translated. Transnationalism, we argue, creates an urgent need for multiscaled intersectional analyses because of the role the nation plays in the formation of differences and inequalities (Grzanka, 2014; Mohanty, 2013) and because of the changing role of the State in policymaking.…”
