Intersectional feminist thinking has the potential to promote an understanding of the dynamics of oppression in design and foster ways to minimize them. The study presented in this article explores how it has been embraced in the design field so far. A literature review process and an analysis of three cases characterize the study presented in this article. The research shows that although emerging, research on embracing intersectional thinking in design is relatively scarce. The literature review enabled the identification of three design approaches that officially state the adoption of an intersectional lens. These approaches were analysed against two core principles of intersectionality – pluralism and contextualization. Their description and analysis are reported here to exemplify how intersectional thinking has been implemented into design processes and to highlight existing strengths, challenges and opportunities. The article offers some reflections on future directions for intersectional design approaches to engage more closely with intersectionality.
