Very few theories have generated the kind of interdisciplinary and global engagement that marks the intellectual history of intersectionality. Yet, there has been very little effort to reflect upon precisely how intersectionality has moved across time, disciplines, issues, and geographic and national boundaries. Our failure to attend to intersectionality's movement has limited our ability to see the theory in places in which it is already doing work and to imagine other places to which the theory might be taken. Addressing these questions, this special issue reflects upon the genesis of intersectionality, engages some of the debates about its scope and theoretical capacity, marks some of its disciplinary and global travels, and explores the future trajectory of the theory. To do so, the volume includes academics from across the disciplines and from outside of the United States. Their respective contributions help us to understand how intersectionality has moved and to broaden our sense of where the theory might still go.

- Towards Intersectionality in Machine Learning: Including More Identities, Handling Underrepresentation, and Performing Evaluation (2022, background): “1 There is a long history of considering intersectional harms in fields outside of computer science [9, 22–24, 52, 80, 90, 92, 98, 112, 115], and an urgent need to do so in machine learning 1 There are complex nuances to this conceptualization that are out of scope of this work [98].”
- Understanding psychology's resistance to intersectionality theory using a framework of epistemic exclusion and invisibility (2020, neutral): “…being coined 30 years ago (Crenshaw, 1989) and over a century of marginalized scholars advocating for intersectional approaches to social problems and political representation (e.g., Combahee River Collective, 2005; Moraga & Anzaldúa, 1981/2015; Truth, 1851; also see Hancock, 2016).”
