'Chantel Walwyn' 'Daniel Lizotte' 'Alma Angelica Villa-Rueda'] Background Intersectionality is a theoretical framework rooted in the premise that human experience is jointly shaped by multiple social positions (e.g. race, gender), and cannot be adequately understood by considering social positions independently. Used…

Background COVID-19 was a catalyst for popularizing intersectionality, an approach now recognized as central to understanding the inequitable consequences of COVID-19 and as a necessary lens for recovery. Yet, a key question remains: Did the pandemic provide the stimulus for improving or advancing operational…

The increasing application of intersectionality to the psychological study of identity development raises questions regarding how we as researchers construct and operationalize social identity categories, as well as how we best capture and address systems of oppression and privilege within our work. In the continental…

We address the critical issue of biased algorithms and unfair rankings, which have permeated various sectors, including search engines, recommendation systems, and workforce management. These biases can lead to discriminatory outcomes in a data-driven world, especially against marginalized and underrepresented groups.…

Intersectionality is one of the most important theoretical, methodological, and analytical tools to explore inequalities in social and economic life and understand how power relations are sustained between groups of people (Collins, ; Holvino, ). Its coinage in 1989 (see Crenshaw, ) is preceded by discussions in Black…

The purpose of this study is to understand the intersection of race, gender, and sexual orientation through exploring the experiences of Asian American female sexual minority (AAFSM) college students in the U.S. Midwestern universities. We employed one of McCall’s three intersectionality methodological…

'Anita Sarma'] HCI researchers' and practitioners' awareness of intersectionality has been expanding, producing knowledge, recommendations, and prototypes for supporting intersectional populations. However, doing intersectional HCI work is uniquely expensive: it leads to a combinatorial explosion of empirical work…

'Brittany Johnson'] Machine learning (ML) has become a go-to solution for improving how we use, experience, and interact with technology (and the world around us). Unfortunately, studies have repeatedly shown that machine learning technologies may not provide adequate support for societal identities and experiences.…

The concept of intersectionality, an analytic framework or lens for investigating how social identities are configured by power and oppression, was introduced by Crenshaw ([6]) in the Stanford Law Review. In this publication, Crenshaw argued that gender, race, social class, and sexuality are inseparable and…

outcomes for intersectional social strata Authors: ['Ben Van Dusen' 'Heidi Cian' 'Jayson M. Nissen' 'Lucy Arellano' 'Adrienne D. Woods'] Originating in 1980s legal scholarship, the analytical lens of intersectionality brought attention to "the vexed dynamics of difference and the solidarities of sameness in the context…

'Kai-Wei Chang'] Intersectionality is a critical framework that, through inquiry and praxis, allows us to examine how social inequalities persist through domains of structure and discipline. Given AI fairness' raison d'être of "fairness," we argue that adopting intersectionality as an analytical framework is pivotal to…

We investigated the intersectional relationships between racism, sexism, and classism in inequities in student conceptual knowledge in introductory biology courses using a quantitative critical framework. Using Bayesian hierarchical linear models, we examined students’ conceptual knowledge as measured by the…

Black women in academic medicine experience racial and gender discrimination, all while being tasked with improving a flawed system. Representation of Black women in medicine remains low, yet they bear the burden of fostering diversity and mentoring trainees, exacerbating their minority tax and emotional labor, and…

Leadership has been traditionally envisioned and enacted as a top-down structure that reinforces positionality and power dynamics that are antithetical to the fundamental values and desired outcomes of equity-focused change work. This paper critically examines the evolution of leadership structures, agenda setting, and…

People of color in the United States are disproportionately and unfairly exposed to air pollution. Equity-oriented scientific evaluations quantifying these disparities often use population-average exposure metrics to capture the overall inequality within a system. Utilizing these metrics involves choices about the…

Gender inequality has been documented across a variety of high-prestige professions. Both structural bias (e.g., lack of proportionate representation) and interpersonal bias (e.g., sexism, discrimination) generate costs to underrepresented minorities. How can we estimate these costs and what interventions are most…

In the United States, people of color are disproportionately and unjustly exposed to air pollution. Historically, environmental policy has emphasized aggregate emission reductions; yet major emission reduction scenarios do not sufficiently mitigate relative exposure disparities. Here, we show that without focusing on…

Disparity in air pollution exposure arises from variation at multiple spatial scales: along urbanto-rural gradients, between individual cities within a metropolitan region, within individual neighborhoods, and between city blocks. Here, we improve on existing capabilities to systematically compare urban variation at…
