Intersectionality, Diversity, Identity, and Disability

This chapter will explore and develop a deeper understanding of the factors that influence the way in which an individual experiences social situations, including schools, the workplace, and society as a whole; a discussion on the concept of intersectionality will also be explored. By considering how diversity and identity impact individual experiences, we will come to better understand how individuals, including the life stories present in this text, have complex experiences. These concepts are critical for you to understand when examining the life stories on your journey to becoming inclusive practitioners.
