In her 2020 Social, Science and Medicine article, “Considerations for Employing Intersectionality in Qualitative Health Research,” Dr. Jasmine Abrams observed that “… In many qualitative health studies, the central tenets of intersectionality remain largely unacknowledged, and no guidelines exist to assist researchers with incorporating the theory into their work” (p.2). This training addresses some of the critical graps that Dr. Abrams outlined in her article. This training is designed to introduce qualitative researchers to the complexity of intersectionality qualitative research with a focus on foundational assumptions, knowledge, and skills needed to design, conduct, and analyze rigorous qualitative intersectionality research with fidelity to core tenets of intersectionality.
This course is ideal for individuals, professionals, students, and research teams with knowledge of and/or experience designing and conducting qualitative studies, key qualitative concepts (e.g., reflexivity), methodologies (e.g., ethnography, Photovoice, discourse analysis) and qualitative methods (e.g., focus groups, individual interviews) and analytical strategies (e.g., coding, memoing, thematic analysis).
Why take this course?
- Save time! Qualitative intersectionality work is complex! Moreover, there as Dr. Abrams notes, few guidelines exist about how to do it. We’ve condensed the most important knowledge you need to develop and conduct rigorous qualitative intersectionality research.
- Avoid the risk of using methods or methodologies not ideally suited for qualitative intersectionality research.
- Leverage your learning to design more rigorous qualitative intersectionality studies and stronger methods sections for grant proposals and publications.
- Learn from ITI Founder and CEO, Lisa Bowleg, a leading intersectionality qualitative and mixed methods researcher with a track record of NIH-funded qualitative intersectionality research and high-impact publications on the topic:

What topics are covered in this course?
- Overview of the core tenets of intersectionality;
- Applications of core tenets to each phase of the qualitative design process (e.g., research design, research questions, sampling, measurement development, data management, data analysis and interpretation);
- Critical intersectional reflexivity ;
- Challenges of intersectional qualitative research; and
- Best practice strategies for managing (e.g., developing codebooks, coding, writing analytical memos), analyzing, and interpreting qualitative data using an intersectional lens.
What will you be able to do after this course?
- Recognize the philosophical assumptions that link intersectionality and qualitative research.
- Assess what’s distinctive about intersectional qualitative research.
- Identify qualitative methodologies and methods best suited for intersectional qualitative research.
- Describe the implications of intersectionality for all phases of the qualitative research process (i.e., design, measures, data analysis, and interpretation).
