Abstract
Few-Demo (2014) described intersectionality theory as a framework that compels researchers to be mindful of differential impacts of intersecting oppressions and to raise question of power and burden when considering sampling, analytic, and interpretation strategies; thus, context and power matter. Intersectionality is first and foremost a critical theory; thus, it is an intellectual articulation of the aims of social movements that have critiqued interlocking systems that create and perpetuate inequitable social stratification and inequalities. As intersectionality theory spread across disciplines, it became a methodological paradigm in which the theory drives decisions concerning research design, data analysis, and praxis. Intersectionality also is based on the notion that more than one sociodemographic factor, such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, class and gender, can interact simultaneously within systems of power to impact individual experiences (Collins & Bilge, 2016).
