Constructivist and Intersectional Interpretations of a Lesbian College Student's Multiple Social Identities
Abes, Elisa S.
Journal of Higher Education, v83 n2 p186-216 Mar-Apr 2012
Constructivism and intersectionality are used to explore one lesbian college student's multiple identities. These frameworks reveal how meaning-making contributes to power's influence on identity, while power shapes meaning-making. For this student, lesbian identity is a product of social class, dominant and subordinate norms, and interactions among marginalized and privileged identities.
