Word of the Day: Intersectionality

Infographic alternative text

In academic contexts, recognizing intersectionality means accepting the multiplicity and nuanced layers of differences between your learners and colleagues even if they're not visible or recognizable. Many of us humans belong to multiple marginalized groups and have extra challenges on a daily basis. Offering unconditional positive regard and the benefit of the doubt goes a long way in achieving best outcomes for all stakeholders. Learn more about intersectional pedagogy.

Intersectional pedagogy asks educators to understand that identities and experiences compound on one another and to take those identities and experiences into consideration when developing curricula and in their teaching practices. (Every Learner, Everwhere)
