Abstract

This panel considers the application of intersectionality to social and public policy problems, including current promising and/or failed cases of intersectional politics, and the lessons that can be learnt from them. How has the incorporation of intersectionality into institutional politics led to a reduction of intersectionality to a compensatory policy tool and the neglect of some social categories in line with neoliberal logics of diversity management? How is intersectionality mobilized by different political actors (e.g. policymakers, practitioners, activists)? How can intersectional theory and method be brought to bear in and on public policy? Papers consider how political parties approach issues including abortion across four Global South countries; recent Canadian policy and legal developments which regulate queer families amidst discourses that privilege whiteness and hetero and homonormative family arrangements; and apply the Intersectionality Based Policy Analysis Framework to the policy problem of intersecting inequalities in excess weight.
