International Workshop: “How to use Intersectionality in Empirical Research”
Cornelia Goethe Center and GRADE Center Gender
10 October 2024, Guest House of Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main
The international workshop addresses current debates relating to the epistemological status of intersectionality as well as its potentials and limitations for individual disciplines and for interdisciplinary research. Throughout the day, particular attention is paid to the potentials and hurdles of the concept of intersectionality as an interdisciplinary analytical tool. Questions to be discussed from both the perspectives of academic and political practice are: Does the concept represent a theory, a heuristic or a methodology? Who 'owns' the concept? Who can work with it and how? What insights can be gained by addressing religious, cultural and linguistic diversity with the concept of intersectionality? Can the concept also be applied beyond the Euro-American horizon of experience and what adaptations might be necessary?
Early Career Researchers are invited to present their ongoing research in the workshop “How to use Intersectionality in Empirical Research” with Kathy Davis, Ann Phoenix and Helma Lutz. The research workshop focuses on discussing the potentials and difficulties of using the concept of intersectionality in research based on concrete experiences from ongoing research projects. The aim is to discuss how intersectionality as a concept is or could be applied (better) in specific research projects in a constructive and collaborative atmosphere.
