Concept
Disability as Understood through Intersectionality Theory and Praxis
- Disability has been largely under-explored in Intersectionality Theory works as compared to identity categories such as race, gender, and class.
- One of the reasons for this under investigation is how disability as an identity itself contains so many smaller identities, which causes the larger disability identity groups to be more variant.
- These variations often cause an over-emphasis on individual boydminds rather than disability as an identity group that faces unique systemative oppression.
- Contemporary Intersectionality theory foregrounds the interplay in other communities, as seen in the disability community, between individuals and groups.
- Critically engaging with disability could potentially substantially change the understanding of the use of Intersectionality Theory as a theoretical method, methodology, paradigm, and analytical framework.
