In the fall of 2020, we will kick-start our doctoral training ‘Intersectionality and I’. The training ‘Intersectionality and I’ teaches APH researchers how to conduct intersectionality-based research. The training is the product of a participatory process in which PhD students and other APH stakeholders co-created a training program that meets the needs of public health researchers.
Intersectionality enables researchers to address health disparities and social justice in their research. It helps researchers to gain insight in biases: to whom is this knowledge applicable? And to whom it is not? Intersectionality allows for researchers to identify vulnerable groups, differences within and between groups and to explain these differences from a socio-structural perspective. Thereby, intersectionality adds value by generating integrated knowledge that contributes to tailored, personalized and patient-centered care policies and practices.
