Few ideas are as highly valued across politically engaged scholarship as ‘intersectionality’ and readers of this volume who may be new to queer studies are nevertheless likely to have some understanding of the concept. For example, they may well have heard the name of Kimberle Crenshaw and be aware of her two famous essays that are often invoked as foundations in the history of intersectional analysis. They are also likely to have some understanding of the centrality that intersectionality has come to enjoy in a range of academic fields, across activist spaces, and in an array of public discourses. Indeed, in the context of feminisms mediated online, the centrality of the concept has been articulated in a slogan that has circulated widely: ‘My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit.’ But these readers may be less familiar with how this sloganeering also obscures a broader conversation on intersectionality that has taken place especially within feminist scholarship. Amongst other things, this work has traced the deeper histories of intersectionality and its cognate ideas, questioned the paradoxes that have kept the concept so central in the field, and offered new models for thinking about how different social forms interact with each other. These conversations have become so extensive that some feminist scholars have even suggested that a field of ‘intersectionality studies’ may be needed to parse their finer points, while others have done detailed work to trace intersectionality's complex intellectual histories.
