Intersectionality and Intersectional Analysis in the Arts Therapies: How Does It Enhance Our Thinking about Social Justice?

Abstract

The usefulness of intersectional analysis is explored. Its implications for enhancing arts therapies practice are set out and analyzed in detail. In particular, intersectional analysis is discussed in relation to gender issues. A case study is then offered to illustrate the practical application of the concept. An argument is made for the introduction of further critical theory to be taught in our curriculums to enhance critical pedagogy.

Keywords: social justice, utility of intersectional analysis, intersectional analysis and gender, intersectional analysis and motherhood
