Intersectionality Collective
The Intersectionality Collective is a private digital community for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students to share ideas and resources about intersectionality research, find collaborators, share and get feedback on their work.
The Collective includes educational materials, collaboration spaces, networking events, and mentoring opportunities for scholars, researchers, practitioners in the U.S., as well as globally.
Because the Collective is funded by membership, annual subscriptions are necessary to financially sustain it. Optional annual individual subscriptions range from $250 - $1499 per year.
Whether you’re new to intersectionality and its benefits for health equity and social justice research and practice, have some or a lot of experience with intersectionality, or are leading the way — there’s a place for you in the Intersectionality Collective.
To ensure safety, confidentiality, and preserve the intellectual rigor and professionalism of our community, access to the Intersectionality Collective is by application only.

Office Hours with Clare Evans, ScD
Scholar and Researcher tier members will have access to an office hour in October and December with Dr. Clare Evans, who invented MAIHDA for her 2015 Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health dissertation research proposal. Yep, you read that correctly: she invented it! MAIHDA is now the “gold standard” for intersectional research in social epidemiology and is rapidly growing with the other social sciences.
Want to join? Subscribe to Scholar or Researcher tier before October to join.
Exclusive videos from the Intersectionality Salons
ITI's monthly Intersectionality Salons are a showcase of scholarly rigor and intersectional joy. We record the sessions and then edit them ito smaller snippets, like our July Salon with professor Dorothy Roberts. Some appear on our YouTube channel but to see them all, you must join the Intersectionality Collective.
Is that Professors Crenshaw and Bowleg?
It sure is! Find out what happened on stage at APA2026 in August in one of Dr. Bowleg's Intersectionalitas - all of which are in the Collective and available to all members.
