Description

Critical intersectional scholarship enhances researchers' and scholar-activists' ability to open novel research frontiers. This forward-thinking Research Handbook demonstrates how to pursue fluid and innovative research approaches, identify differences from traditional methodologies, and overcome the common challenges faced when carrying out intersectional research.

A transdisciplinary group of contributors offer their experience and expertise to provide an overview of key research topics, qualitative and quantitative approaches, and empirical examples of integrating intersectionality research with other critical practices. Examining the foundational texts that explain historical developments in systems of oppression and interdisciplinary research on marginalized communities, state-of the-art chapters explore the intersections emerging in studies of gender and sexuality, capitalism, white supremacy, nationalism, colonialism, climate emergencies, imperial decline, and public health. Reconsidering the ways in which scholar-activists carry out research, the Research Handbook demonstrates how an intersectional gaze and a continued commitment to social justice moves us closer to producing valuable research and, ultimately, transforming knowledge.

Advancing innovative and multidisciplinary approaches, this incisive Research Handbook will be an invaluable tool for scholars and researchers hoping to undertake meaningful intersectional research. Its empirical findings will further benefit practitioners tasked with designing intersectional policy.

Reviews / Votes

'Mary Romero is once again pushing the boundaries of intersectionality, reaching backward as well as forward to reveal intersectionality's deep history and future evolution. All this in a single volume with dozens of contributors demonstrating how to put intersectionality into practice in both research and activism on an astonishingly wide range of issues.' -- - Leslie McCall, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, US 'Mary Romero's Research Handbook on Intersectionality is timely and compelling! This multidisciplinary, historical, transnational, and global collection of excellent articles, with Romero's incisive introduction, emphasizes the salience of intersectional methodologies. Significantly, it highlights the conceptual and contextual complexities in doing intersectional research. A must read for scholars, activists, and students interested in engaging in research, transforming knowledge, and in linking theory and meaningful praxis.' -- Margaret Abraham, Hofstra University, US 'Mary Romero has added a vital resource to the copious literature on intersectionality by building on the highlights of path-breaking classic arguments while combining these in each article with the newest applications of the concept to a wide field of concerns. Both established voices and emerging scholars contribute to centering the issues of practical application to research and activism, and including rarely considered topics such as disability, human rights, and indigeneity. A timely reference for those new to the field but also a source of inspiration for even the most knowledgeable scholars.' -- Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US 'This cutting-edge volume brings together a number of well-established experts to explore the doing or practice of intersectional work across a number of (trans)disciplinary spaces, and especially in regard to certain neglected areas of scholarship such as settler colonialism, indigenous studies, applied research, and transnationalism. In doing so, the volume extends intersectional scholarship in critical and necessary ways. This is an indispensable contribution to the field.' -- Vrushali Patil, Florida International University, US
