Intersectionality within Politics

Abstract

This panel discusses how intersectionality is discussed and related to within politics, and how it in turn influences policy outcomes. It analyzes independence campaigns and gendered targeting of voters through looking at the case of Scotland, feminist foreign policy in a post-colonial framework, the impact of gender on the incumbency advantage, gendered candidate selection in Lebanon and the connection (or the lack thereof) between queer political officials and queering policies.
