Intersectionality continues to be taken up as a promising framework across multiple disciplines for practices involving equity, inclusion, and social justice. Increased use of intersectionality has resulted in the development of an intersectionality-based policy analysis (IBPA) intended for multiple settings and contexts, despite its roots in health policy. Young men of color in schools face numerous forms of racial violence and oppression, including interpersonal violence, harm, misrepresentation in society, deficit models, and structural oppression. This article describes the implementation of an IBPA to navigate structures of oppression within school climates and to design a systematic agenda toward equity for males of color in schools.
