How can an intersectional perspective strengthen research design, ethics and interpretation? This webinar offers PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers an introduction to intersectionality both as a social construct and as a theoretical and methodological framework. Participants will explore how categories such as gender, race, class, disability and sexuality intersect to shape lived experiences, data production and knowledge claims.

Through discussion and reflection, the session will highlight how adopting an intersectional lens can help researchers identify blind spots in research design, reduce bias in interpretation and navigate power relations responsibly when working with participants and communities.

The webinar is organised within IN-ROOTS – Inclusive Routes and Roots for Doctoral Communities, a project developed under the Circle U. Flagship Initiatives on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Registration is required before 15 April, 3:00 p.m.
