Marta Jorba (University of the Basque Country – UPV/EHU) and Maria Rodó de Zárate (researcher at Gender and ICT) have published an article at Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, which offers a critical research review of the intersectionality literature.

 

Under the title of “Beyond Mutual Constitution: The Properties Framework for Intersectionality Studies”, their contribution revises the conceptualization of social categories in the intersectionality theory and presents the properties framework, together with the emergent experience view. This theoretical proposal conceptualizes categories and social systems in a way that maintains their ontological specificity while allowing for their being deeply affected by each other.
