Patricia Hill Collins in her theory of _______________________suggests that everyone is a member of multiple groups and that these multiple groups create various statuses, which contribute to different realities for each person.
Sociologist Patricia Hill Collins developed and explained the concept of intersectionality in her groundbreaking book Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment, published in 1990.
Today intersectionality is a major concept of critical racial studies, feminist studies, queer studies, the sociology of globalization, and a critical sociological approach, generally speaking.
In addition to race, class, gender, sexuality and nationality, many of today's sociologists also include categories such as age, religion, culture, ethnicity, ability, body type, and even looking at their intersectional approach.
