Intersectionality helps us understand our own position as researchers as much as it does our research participants and stakeholders. We want to get down to the details of understanding which people, in which contexts, and under which circumstances. This class will unfold in two distinct parts. In Part 1, we will explore the development and application of intersectionality as a theoretical lens and methodological approach. Students will choose a research topic to unpack throughout the term and each week we will centre a different identity asking: What story does this intersection tell? How does the story change? In Part 2, we will focus on the practice of and politics around knowledge translation. Students will choose a form of knowledge translation that they think best suits the research story they have been creating.
