The Challenges and Possibilities of Intersectionality in Education  Review of Research in Education (RRE), Volume 42, 2018

The 2018 volume of Review of Research in Education (RRE), “The Challenges and Possibilities of Intersectionality in Education,” will publish reviews that further the understanding of how intersectionality has been taken up in education research. Originally rooted in Black feminist epistemology and critical race theory, intersectionality is an analytical concept, an orientation, and a methodological approach aimed at understanding and addressing relationships of power and inequality within social spaces. Researchers working within an intersectional framework try to account for the dynamic and complex ways that race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, citizenship, ability, and age, among other things, shape individual identities and social life.

The 2018 editors (Jeanne M. Powers, Gustavo E. Fischman, and Adai A. Tefera) seek research syntheses that address three key areas: How have intersectional approaches produced new knowledge about education? What are the theoretical and methodological implications of the concept of intersectionality within the field of education? How have scholars, practitioners, and activists used intersectional approaches to address complex educational and social problems and promote interventions that foster equity and social justice?  Manuscripts for the 2018 volume of RRE are invited from across the many subfields and overlapping arenas of inquiry that constitute education research and from adjacent disciplines and fields where there is relevant research and expertise. Each volume of RRE provides an overview and descriptive analysis of a selected topic of relevant research literature through critical and synthesizing essays. RRE promotes discussion and controversy about research problems in addition to pulling together and summarizing work in the field.
