"Intersectionality" can be defined as the "relationships among multiple social dimensions and modalities of social relations and subject formations." In simpler terms, it can be defined as the processes through which multiple social identities converge and ultimately shape individual and group experiences. In this article, the authors discuss the promise of intersectionality in advancing the current state of higher education research. First, they delineate some of the salient limitations of one-dimensional analyses in higher education research. Then they discuss the role of intersectionality frameworks in addressing these limitations. Finally, they provide examples of intersectionality research in higher education to illuminate how such frameworks can advance understandings of experiences in higher education.
