Intersectionality enables researchers to address health disparities and social justice in their research. It helps researchers to gain insight in biases: to whom is this knowledge applicable? And to whom it is not?

Intersectionality also allows for researchers to identify vulnerable groups, differences within and between groups and to explain these differences from a socio-structural perspective. Thereby, intersectionality adds value by generating integrated knowledge that contributes to tailored, personalized and patient-centered care policies and practices.

On August 24, from 16:00-17:00 hrs, we are organizing a first ‘Introduction to Intersectionality’ Zoom meetup. In this one hour ‘meet-and-greet’ with intersectionality, we outline the basics of the theory and its application in public health, and provide a quick overview of the content of the upcoming PhD training ‘Intersectionality and I’. The 2-day training is developed by PhD candidates from APH.

The meeting is open to all. Find more information on the training ‘Intersectionality and I’ and how to attend it.
