Interest in intersectionality and health equity has flourished in the social and behavioral sciences, but opportunities for formal training in intersectionality and its application to health equity have been surprisingly rare, until now. We designed this three-part interactive training to provide a solid introduction to intersectionality, its history and core themes (i.e., Foundations), assess the benefits of intersectionality for health equity research and practice (i.e., Fundamentals), and identify key theoretical, research design, and methodological considerations for applying intersectionality to qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods health equity and social justice research.
Includes:
- Post-training, a PDF of the presentation, including references
- List of all resources mentioned during training
Learn the basics of intersectionality and how it can transform your health equity work.
Interest in intersectionality and health equity is flourishing in the social and behavioral sciences, but opportunities for formal training in intersectionality and its application to health equity have been surprisingly rare, until now. We designed this interactive training to provide a solid introduction to intersectionality, its history, core themes, and benefits for health equity research, policy, and practice.
Anyone interested in intersectionality, but particularly researchers, faculty, research staff, and public health workers with little or no formal training in intersectionality. Although we welcome graduate and doctoral students, we encourage students to check out our Get That Dissertation Done! Navigating the Intersectional Dissertation training that we designed specifically for graduate students.
- Save time! The literature on intersectionality is multidisciplinary and vast. We’ve synthesized the most important information to expedite your learning.
- Leverage what you’ve learned to enhance your grant proposals, publications, research, or other health equity work.
- Avoid the risk of “flattening” intersectionality.
- Lisa Bowleg, ITI Founder and CEO, a leading scholar of the application of intersectionality to health equity work, and an engaging and highly sought after speaker for her intersectionality and health equity expertise, is the instructor for this training.
“Material was so well organized and explained, it was easy for me to see how I can apply this to my work.”
“I received a guided and detailed introduction to intersectionality that would have been difficult to achieve by just conducting readings on my own.”
“l was inspired by this training and I look forward to taking what I learned, deepening my understanding, and applying it to my research. Thank you so much for this invaluable training, and I hope to continue on this training journey!”
It’s a blend of didactic, interactive, and small group activities organized as follows:
(1) Level 1: Foundations: History, core themes, and definition;
(2) Level 2: Fundamentals: Why intersectionality? Comparisons to traditional health frameworks and theories, what intersectionality does;
(3) Level 3: Applications: Benefits of intersectionality for health equity research, policy, and practice; Questions and answers about the application of intersectionality to your health equity work
The Foundations and Fundamentals trainings will includes lots of time for Q and A.
- Discuss intersectionality’s history, core themes, and implications for health equity;
- Confidently define intersectionality; and
- Identify applications and benefits of intersectionality for your health equity work.
“The morning intro session was clear, beautiful, moving, intellectually engaging, and challenging in all the perfect ways.”
“The historical context. I also noted the use of BIPOC scholars across the presentation to highlight various aspects of this work. That was powerful.”
“I appreciated the tone and pace of the training and the wonderful leaders / participants.”
“I received a guided and detailed introduction to intersectionality that would have been difficult to achieve by just conducting readings on my own. I am looking forward to the list of resources, and I hope to be able to participate in the week-long, intensive training this summer.”
“Dr. Bowleg’s vast knowledge and experience is amazing. There wasn’t any question that she didn’t have an answer to, or a citation to direct folks to. Clearly learning from the best, is – well, the best!”
“I very much appreciated the chance to attend in a day virtually and that the way the training was structured time wise was tenable. You are right that traveling can be very expensive and this 1 day option made it accessible for me at this time. I really learned a ton and feel like I am walking away with a deeper more nuanced understanding of intersectionality and ways I might incorporate into my mixed methods research. Additionally, the training also gave me ways to discuss the importance of intersectionality with my colleagues and my students. I am eager to learn more”
“The content and organization of the training was great. The reading lists are also great and much welcomed resources.”
“The organized flow of the day and ending with application of intersectionality into practice.”
Lisa Bowleg, PhD, MA, Founder and President of the Intersectionality Training Institute is the winner of the 2023 James S. Jackson Memorial Award from the National Institutes of Mental Health, and is nationally and internationally renowned for her research and scholarship advancing intersectionality and health equity.
