Ok #academia Bluesky I need your help. I’m screening newspaper articles for inclusion in an analysis. I can’t use screening tools like Covidence because they don’t have RIS files. I’ve been using Nvivo but it’s SO SLOW. I have over 5000 to screen. Any software recommendations?

There are many reasons I decided to a PhD. But one of them was definitely being more obnoxious at Christmas dinner with right wing relatives. Hope they enjoy my PowerPoint on intersectional feminism! *sips baileys*

In public health, education, justice reform, etc., if your work invokes intersectionality, ask yourself: 1. Are you naming the systems of oppression involved? 2. Are you centering those most impacted? 3. Are you pushing for systemic accountability and not just surface level inclusion?
Intersectionality should be used to challenge and transform NOT just describe.
When we reduce intersectionality to a buzzword we ignore the power dynamics it was intended to expose and strip its analytical power. This framework is about naming and confronting the interlocking systems that produce inequity and NOT just counting categories like race, gender, or class.
Intersectionality is NOT simply about listing/describing identities. It is a framework to name and analyze how systems of power intersect and compound to create differential experiences of marginalization and privilege, especially for those whose identities overlap in structurally marginalized ways.
