Kheiron Module 3

Researchers in different disciplines (sociology, education, psychology, queer studies, etc.) have extended the use of intersectionality to include variables such as social class, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, ethnicity, language, religion, etc. Trying to establish a specific and closed classification of types of intersectionality is perhaps somewhat absurd, as we can draw as many types of intersectionality as different characteristics we have among people. We are going to choose two types of inequality that exist according to Oxfam's Inequality Guide (2016), which includes vertical and horizontal inequalities. It uses the term vertical to explain these inequalities related to economics and wealth, as they understand that inequalities are between those at the top and those at the bottom. Horizontal inequalities are inequalities based on identity characteristics, i.e. on one side or the other. These inequalities include gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or disability, among many others.
