There is no doubt that 2020 has put a number of professions through their paces--college admission and recruitment included. The longer it takes to secure widespread COVID relief, the worse the economic situation becomes. These challenges are broad, sweeping, and beyond the scope of one institution's individual strategies. One framework has shown up time and time again to offer clarity. Intersectionality: An intellectual framework championed by Black, queer, and Latinx feminist scholars in the 1970s, and popularized by Kimberlé Crenshaw in a 1991 law article, claims that identities like race, gender, and class can not be examined in isolation. They must be considered as reinforcing stressors that compound the level of oppressing forces an individual might navigate. This article presents how to apply intersectionality to the college admission process.
