Intersectionality and Possible Selves
Captions available
The idea
Intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, is a framework for how people experience several identities at once, with their privileges or discrimination.
In practice
People with stigmatized identities carrying the extra work of impression management, in Goffman's term.
Where people slip
Identity includes feared as well as hoped-for possible selves; intersectionality is taught as an analytic framework.
