Abstract

Intersectionality recognises that individuals can simultaneously belong to multiple marginalised or privileged groups, such as race, gender, class, disability, and more. These intersecting identities shape a person’s experiences, opportunities, and access to resources, and they can compound or interact with one another in unique ways (Crenshaw, 1989). For example, a person who identifies as a Black woman may face discrimination based on both her race and gender, which may differ from the experiences of a White woman (Miller, 2021). Similarly, an individual who identifies as a transgender person of colour may face specific challenges related to their gender identity, racial background, and prevalent biases (Jefferson et al., 2013). The goal of this special issue is to explore the multifaceted nature of intersectionality and the pivotal role of education and psychology in addressing social justice issues. Topics of interest for submission may include, but are not limited to:
Intersectionality theory and its application within education and psychology.
Experiences of discrimination among individuals with intersecting identities in educational contexts.
Intersectionality and its impact on educational outcomes, such as academic achievement, psychological well-being, and social integration.
The role of educational psychology in mitigating and preventing intersectional discrimination, e.g. linguistic ostracism, gendered racism, etc.
Intersectionality and its implications for educational and psychological workforce professional development.
Case studies or empirical research examining the intersectional experiences of specific marginalised groups, e.g. the experience of Black students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Theoretical frameworks and conceptual models exploring the intersectional dynamics of discrimination in educational and/or psychology.
