Intersectionality in Health Education
English
By (author): Cara D. Grant Troy E. Boddy
The concept of intersectionality considers the interconnected nature or overlap of multiple categorizations such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic class, and physical ability. For Black students already experiencing inequalities, being Black and . . . (female, queer, or another marginalized identity) can lead to encounters that further devalue their identities or leave them feeling unseen.
Intersectionality in Health Education seeks to prompt meaningful reflection on the current status of health education and to ultimately result in more equitable practices for all students. It will help health educators identify their implicit biases, examine how intersectionality is affecting Black students, and build classrooms where all students are seen and valued.
Through a collection of 10 case studies, Intersectionality in Health Education offers insights into the issues that students who identify as Black and . . . commonly face. The text, geared to health education teacher education (HETE) students as well as in-service teachers, does the following:
Intersectionality in Health Education will help preservice and in-service teachers adopt teaching practices that create a supportive, empathetic, and nurturing environment. In doing so, they can help validate Black and . . . students self-worth and swing the pendulum toward a more equitable experience in health education for all students. See more
