The term Intersectionality was proposed in 1989 by professor Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe how aspects of discrimination such as race, class or gender for example intersect with each another and overlap, often amplifying the effects of the individual aspects of discrimination.
For more on the issue and how it affects science (and science communication), have a look at the vide: “Intersectionality will save the future of science | Shawntel Okonkwo | TEDxUCLA”
The aspect of privilege (as well as intersectionality) is addressed in the module Knowledge Equity here in the Lernraum Freies Wissen in this video by Kerstin Schoch: “Check your privilege: Wissenschaftsedition“ (German video with English subtitles)
