Writing for peer-reviewed publication is an essential part of being an intersectionality researcher or scholar. Whether you’re a student or a faculty member, peer-reviewed publications are essential for making you competitive on the job market, securing tenure and promotion, and getting grants. Thus, whether you’re writing an empirical article based on your intersectionality research, an intersectionality-focused editorial or commentary for submission to a peer-reviewed journal, or just want to be a more perspicacious consumer and reviewer of the social and behavioral science literature on intersectionality, this training is for you. Specifically, we’ve developed this new virtual training to help you write stronger and more compelling intersectionality articles (i.e., empirical articles, commentaries and editorials) that we anticipate will increase opportunities to publish your intersectionality work in high impact peer-reviewed journals.
Includes:
- Reading list
- Post-training, a PDF of the presentation, including references
- List of all resources mentioned during training
Session 1:
This introductory session will include a blend of didactive instruction and interactive activities focused on what it means to take an intersectionality-informed approach to writing in terms of:
(a) for an empirical article, elements of an introduction, literature review, methods, results, and discussion sections;
(b) for an commentary or editorial, how to craft a compelling argument using core tenets of intersectionality; and
(c) for a critique (e.g., dissertation, article), the types of things that most editors or reviewers with intersectionality expertise would expect to see.
Session 2:
In the same way that you can’t learn to swim by reading about it, the best way to learn how to write a compelling intersectionality-related article is to do it. To this end, we’ve developed this sessions to be highly practical and hands-on.
What this means is that we will request that you you submit by an agreed date, a 2-3 double-spaced pages maximum section from one of your current intersectionality writing projects (i.e., an abstract, introduction, literature review, methods section, intersectionality-specific results section, or discussion).
Dr. Bowleg will review and provide critical comments about the strengths and areas of improvement about what you have submitted. Then, when we assemble for Session 2, she will, with your permission, share some of the feedback with the Session 2 group and facilitate a structured group discussion about your submission, her and the group’s feedback about your work. This collaborative learning exchange will provide practical and peer recommendations to strengthen your writing about intersectionality for peer-reviewed publication.
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and non-faculty members, and anyone interested in strengthening their intersectionality manuscripts for submission for peer-reviewed publication (e.g., journals, refereed book chapters).
- 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 President, 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.
“The 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. She has published numerous high-impact articles on intersectionality, has served as principal investigator and co-investigator on numerous NIH-funded intersectionality grants, and is a mentor to countless students and faculty conducting intersectionality-related projects.
