Quantitative Approaches to Intersectionality: New Methodological Directions and Implications for Policy Analysis

Sozialkapital intersektional

“…Im deutschen Sprachraum wird dabei oft auf den mehrebenenanalytischen Vorschlag von Winker und Degele (2009) zurückgegriffen. Quantitative Zugänge, hingegen, haben sich noch nicht durchgesetzt und werden Tabelle 10 Dimensionen, Items und Ursprungsskalen von Sozialkapital T1 nur vereinzelt eingesetzt (Dubrow & Ilinca, 2019;McCall, 2005). Zunehmend sprechen sich Forschende für einen Methodenpluralismus in der intersektionalen Forschung aus, der es erlauben würde, partizipative, längsschnittliche oder mehrebenenanalytische Untersuchungen durchzuführen (Creswell, 2014;Heiskanen et al, 2015;Rodriguez et al, 2016;Woodhams & Lupton, 2014).…”

“…Capturing what is easier to measure comes at the cost of failing to capture these complexities and/or systemic barriers to equality. Quantitative approaches to understanding intersectional issues also face challenges in terms of accounting for power structures (Dubrow and Ilinca, 2019). Measuring inclusion does not in and of itself challenge such power structures (Arat, 2015).…”

History, aspirations, and transformations of intersectionality: Focusing on gender.

“…Not only do scholars differ on what true intersectionality is, they also differ on whether intersectionality constitutes an analytic approach (e.g., Cole, 2009), a framework (e.g., Settles, 2006), a theory (e.g., O'Brien, Blodorn, Adams, Garcia, & Hammer, 2015), a paradigm (Dubrow, 2015), or a combination of these (e.g., Hancock, 2007). Conceptual and methodological differences in what intersectionality is may reflect the interdisciplinary development of intersectionality (Cho et al, 2013).…”

“…Mixed methods. Quantitative analyses are often less well suited to gaining depth in understanding the everyday lives of individuals than qualitative analyses, particularly as related to political structures and privileges (Dubrow, 2013(Dubrow, , 2015. The advantage of the former approach is that it allows for explicit hypothesis testing.…”
