Counteract Intersectionality Through Diversity Sensitive Pedagogy

Intersectionality argues that multiple aspects of identity should be considered to understand the social world and to understand exclusion. For example, racism and sexism act together as mutually interlocking systems of oppression, and should not be looked at in isolation. In the case of minority children, ethnicity, class, gender, migrant status all work together to shape a child's experience of exclusion, and should not be treated independently (Bowleg, 2012) (Williams K. , 1994).
