Intersectionality is often considered to be to complex to be effectively studied quantitatively thus most intersectionality studies are found in qualitative realms. In this website,Joshua Kjerulf Dubrow, illustrates the process and results of the quantitative study where he used a European Social Survey to study gender, ethnicity and class intersections. Dubrow notes his focus on disadvantaged groups of new democracies in Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine3.

The site introduction notes the purpose of this website is to highlight the quantitatively oriented empirical literature on intersectionality. There are a growing number of articles: please see the references for a selection of them. This website is also designed to be a companion to the paper, “How Can We Account for Intersectionality in Quantitative Analysis of Survey Data? Empirical Illustration for Central and Eastern Europe,” by Joshua Kjerulf Dubrow and recently published by ASK: Society, Research, Methods. The cite is below. This website will present a modified version of the text and analyses, plus supplementary material, including extended discussions of various related subjects, not found in the original article.

The internet site provides a concise explanation of intersectionality categorical approaches introduced by McCall (2005): intercategorical, intracategorical and anti-categorical approaches to studying and analyzing identities and their multidimensional identities and categories of difference, privilege and oppression.

This site demonstrates the intersectional elements and categories extend beyond the national boundaries, especially US categories attributing to intersectionality disadvantages, those categories of race, class and gender. The website discusses the study and the specific categorical variables.

The site is rounded out by a selective list of study references with a link to an annotative bibliography for intersectionality.
