Intersectionality

        You will then use the framework of intersectionality to look at how a particular group of people living at particular intersections have been denied access in specific ways. Eg: Women with disabilities, queer youth, Indigenous mothers. You will outline WHAT the problem is, how this particular group is not accessing the service, program or resource. Why is this particular group not accessing the specific thing they need to be healthy/well? You will use academic literature AND reports or grey literature from community groups, advocates, activists, alternative policy groups, users themselves. Remember that intersectionality is asking us to uncover where the gaps in access are and also to seek out the perspective and voices of those experiencing the oppression. Questions to ask yourself: Who is this service/program/resource serving? Whose body or mind does it value? Who is celebrated and who is left out of the picture? What are folks living at the intersections of this identity experiencing and saying about what needs to change.
