Evaluating the Social Impact of Generative AI Systems in Systems and Society (2023, background): “Many evaluations focus on distinct or binary groups, due to the complexity of operationalising intersectionality [257, 133]; in many cases, assumptions used to simplify for the sake of mathematical notation and interpretation result in obscuring the very phenomena they seek to describe [64].”
Assessing Social and Intersectional Biases in Contextualized Word Representations (2019, background): “We also evaluate intersectional (gender + race) bias, since the lived experience of groups with multiple minority identities is cumulatively worse than that of each of the groups with a singular minority identity [9].”
You reap what you sow: On the Challenges of Bias Evaluation Under Multilingual Settings (2022, methodology): “Considering bias using a single-713 axis framework makes it impossible to engage with and evaluate the harms extended to the social groups that lie at the intersection of multiple identities (Crenshaw, 1991).”
Addressing Age-Related Bias in Sentiment Analysis (2018, background): “…researchers consider quantitative approaches to artificially remove bias from a dataset [6], such an approach would be difficult to employ across all instances of social bias and neglects the fact that social bias rarely exists along a single dimension (i.e., the notion of intersectionality [17]).”
Cultural Match or Culturally Suspect: How New Teachers of Color Negotiate Sociocultural Challenges in the Classroom (2008, background): “Intersectionality refers to the convergence of multiple and sometimes conflicting sociocultural identifications, such as ethnicity/race, gender, generation, language, and class, that shape peoples’ experiences (Crenshaw, 1995).”
Victim Blaming in Rape: Effects of Victim and Perpetrator Race, Type of Rape, and Participant Racism (2002, background): “For example, in one study, rapists of White versus Black women averaged 10- versus 2- year sentences, respectively (described in Crenshaw, 1991).”
Provocations for Critical Disability Studies (2019, background): “The latter point recognises the importance of intersectional thinking (Crenshaw 1991; Moodley and Graham 2015) that works through mutual processes of exclusion associated with – and the frictional impact on – multiple identities (around race, ethnicity, gender, sex/sexuality, age, class, nation…”
Theorizing Hyphenated Selves: Researching Youth Development in and across Contentious Political Contexts (2007, background): “While Lewin and Du Bois populate our historic legacy, the study of hyphenated selves also allies with contemporary interdisciplinary projects grounded explicitly in analyses of power (Apfelbaum, 2002), gender and intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1995; Yuval-Davis, 1997), and hybridity (Bhabha, 2005).”
Choosing the Velvet Glove: Women Voters, Ambivalent Sexism, and Vote Choice in 2016 (2018, background): “The study of intersectionality originated in the field of law and largely focused on the study of black women (Crenshaw 1989; 1991).”
Gender identity and lexical variation in social media (2012, background): “This underscores the importance of intersectionality — the impossibility of pulling different dimensions of social life like gender, race, and affect into separate strands (Crenshaw 1991; McCall 2005; Brah and Phoenix 2004).”
A model of intersectional stress and trauma in Asian American sexual and gender minorities. (2018, background): “…intersectionality, LGBTQ, Asian American, stress, trauma Intersecting identities, or intersectionality, as conceptualized by Collins (1999) and Crenshaw (1991), refers to the interconnected nature of social categories such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation as they apply to a…”
Is Man the Measure of All Things? A Social Cognitive Account of Androcentrism (2018, background): “According to an intersectionality perspective, gender and race biases sometimes combine to produce either a genderplus-race outcome or generate a unique combination (additive model vs. interactive model; Cole, 2009; Crenshaw, 1991; Purdie-Vaughns & Eibach, 2008).”
Past, Present and Future Research on Multiple Identities: Toward an Intrapersonal Network Approach (2014, background): “Intersectionality theory (Crenshaw, 1991; McCall, 2005; Yuval-Davis, 2006) explicitly embraces the notion of relationships among multiple identities.”
Sacrosanct or Flawed: Risk, Accountability and Gender- Responsive Penal Politics (2010, background): “Collins (1990) and others (hooks 1981; Crenshaw 1991; Grabham et al. 2009) have argued that race, gender, class and sexuality are not easily separable; these axes coexist and are interconnected.”
Research literature on women of color in undergraduate engineering education: A systematic thematic synthesis (2020, methodology): “The theoretical frames of CRT (Bell, 1995; Solórzano, 1997; Solórzano et al., 2000) and intersectionality (Collins, 2000; Collins & Bilge, 2016; Crenshaw, 1991, 1993) bring into high relief how systemic gendered and raced oppressions continue to be experienced in traditionally White and male…”
