An intersectional perspective on representation poses a fundamental problem for our understanding of how representation works and should work as it questions the groups that are accepted to be the structuring principle of politics. . Acknowledging the reality of intersectionality results in a dilemma: on the one hand, it is simply no longer desirable to keep conducting the traditional type of representation studies using the broad single categories, but, on the other hand, it is not feasible to extend the same approach to every intersectional subgroup imaginable. To overcome this dilemma, this paper proposes a mixed method approach to study intersectional group representation.
