New reading recommendation: Fellner Magdalena (2025), "Pitfalls in applying intersectional frameworks to social inequality: a systematic review of research on first-generation students"
The Findings show that (1) the perspectivization is used to reinforce categories rather than to dissolve them; (2) interpretations of intersectionality have mostly led to additive applications where opinions on which intersectional category most affect disadvantage differ and (3) by proposing compensation measures, some of the studies under review conclude that students must adapt to normative standards rather than emphasizing the structurally transformative potential inherent in the intersectional framework.
