Research an intersectional area of inequality (could be historical or modern)
After better understanding this term, you need to do a little basic research to find an example of inequality where you need to apply the theory of intersectionality to better understand it. One obvious example is “black women” or “Hispanic Women”. However, any status that places an individual in an inferior position in society can lead to inequality. So this could also be a disabled individual living in poverty.
Identify a factual example of a group or category of individuals who have struggled with inequality or are currently struggling. Explain why we need to use the lens of intersectionality to better understand this group or category and their lived experiences of inequality.
This research can be current or historical; it can be within the United States or somewhere else around the globe.
Step Three: Write up your findings and new knowledge
The overall paper needs to be
at least 3 pages
double spaced
APA format
You also need to include at least 3 reputable sources in your works cited page.
If you are not familiar with APA, I have included a link to the Purdue OWL below. Also, remember that SJC has a terrific student success center if you are able to physically get there.

What to make sure to include in your paper (in any order that makes the most sense for your writing style)
Brief discussion of intersectionality
Who your category is
History of the group
Why using intersectionality to study this group is necessary
Current status of this category (if they are historical) or potential for the future (in other words, if it is an historical category, were gains made in seek equality? If it is a current category, does it seem like gains are being made towards equality)
