Intersectionality and sexuality : the case of equalities work in UK local government
The last twenty five years has seen the introduction and expansion of studies concerning intersectionality. Intersectionality is claimed by some authors as a central aspect of feminist thinking, one which has transformed the conceptualisation of gender in research (Shields 2008). As is well rehearsed, intersectionality theory grew out of a critique of models of inequality which framed social forces as operating in layered or additive ways (Shields 2008).
