CARVALHO, Marília Pinto de. INTERSECTIONALITY: A THEORETICAL EXERCISE BASED ON AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.176, pp.360-374.  Epub Aug 18, 2020. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053147068.

In this essay I propose to bring back an approach to intersectionality that is not restricted to the dimension of individual identity, but also includes the symbolic and structural dimensions of society. The article starts with a presentation of the use of the concept of gender and of its articulation with class structure in a qualitative empirical research about the work of elementary school teachers. Next, possible articulations with racial inequality are discussed, and then I conclude by suggesting a few themes linked to school education that might benefit from an intersectional approach of this type.

Keywords : GENDER; CLASS; RACE; TEACHERS.
