The Intersectionality Toolbox: A Resource for Teaching and Applying an Intersectional Lens in Public Health

Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that was developed to address the ways in which people's experiences are shaped based on their intersecting social identities (e. g., race/ethnicity, gender, class, age, etc.). This approach focuses on the importance of considering power, privilege,...
