Abstract

Intersectionality is currently an important field of study and has become one of the most important contributions of feminism. The concept was formalized by Kimberlé Crenshaw as a crossroads to signify the various ways in which race and gender interact to shape the multiple dimensions of Black women’s work experience. The category gains relevance in the legal field but soon expands to other sciences, especially in the field of social disciplines and in an English-speaking context. As a justice-oriented approach, intersectionality makes important contributions to theological ethics, among others: promoting moral reasoning that assumes a subject assembled by multiple axes of inequalities, raising awareness about the need to analyze one’s own positions of power or privilege and consider the voices and experiences of those who are actively involved.
