New study: Intersectionality and feminist activism, 2016: Student feminist societies in the United Kingdom
February 14, 2018

A new study, entitled "Intersectionality and feminist activism, 2016: Student feminist societies in the United Kingdom" was published.


Intersectional perspective underlines the fact that oppression in a society has a number of sources, which interact and overlap one another. Intersectionality is not only an academic project, but is also part of feminist activism. In this research, intersectionality is analysed in relation to student feminist societies which operate at 84 universities throughout the United Kingdom. The study was conducted by using the method of interview – talks with leading members of student feminist societies across the United Kingdom – and survey, by which we included a larger proportion of members of student feminist societies.
