Intersectionality and health explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2020
- Research has shown us that gender, ethnicity and social class have a strong impact on our health, yet the simple fact is that no one is just a man or woman, or just black or white, or just working-class or middle-class. Instead, we have multiple characteristics that shape our lives.
This video - created by a research team in the Department of Sociological Studies, as part of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project - considers a perspective called 'intersectionality', a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe the discrimination experienced by black women, and how this can lead to differences in health.
So far, researchers and public health professionals have paid little attention to intersectionality. There has often been an assumption that one size fits all, and discrimination is rarely seen as an explanation of health differences. Yet, we are now starting to see signs that more and more, intersectionality is being taken seriously.

What an interesting topic.Thanks for sharing
This is fantastic! I will be using it to present in class, thanks.
This great ...Keep them coming. I will use this in my class
Intersectionality assumes racism and sexism for disparities across race and gender, but it may or may not be true.
Or, or, do certain groups often make bad health decisions?
Just walk around the supermarket and have a look who's buying what.
Yes, though I would say certain groups are more likely to make bad health decisions (the way you say it is kinda generalizing). But you can't ignore the various factors that play into making bad health decisions.. like education, socio-economic background. It's not just because they lack discipline or are lazy, what I think you're implying (correct me if I'm wrong please.)
Nothing with the word studies should be taught in our public education.

Your theory falls apart due to the great success of Asian women (a double minority, women of color).
model minority myth perpetuated by white supremacists to deny racism towards poc, what you're describing is the migrant work ethic, migrants are able to work harder than black and indigenous folk purely for the fact they're not systemically oppressed in the same sense that black and indigenous people are, this is particularly common with east asian migrants, specifically, chinese, japanese, south or north koreans, taiwanese, and more precisely the dominant ethnic groups those nationalities, such as han chinese, wajin japanese, koreans, han taiwanese, and etc; but is not exclusive to and is also found in south asians, south east asians, and west asians.
Correct, Lets be honest about who patronises the 'intersectionality' idea to explain their under-achievement the most.
Intersectionality is a joke and lazy sociology.
