Interrogating Intersectionality: Considerations on Critical Inquiry and Praxis for WIEGO’s Actionable Research

By , on November 01, 2023

This paper aims to expand on the emerging scholarship examining intersectionality as an approach for advancing struggles against global inequality, based on a case study of the research advocacy network Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO). This case study examines WIEGO’s general approach to research and its Covid-19 Crisis and the Informal Economy Study, which converge in highlighting the substantial diversity in the structure of informal employment and the interplay among gender, occupation (status in employment) and earnings within informal employment.

The research was commissioned as part of the “Promoting Intersectional Development Research” - a joint project between the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) and Canada's International Development Research Centre - that aims to understand, inform and promote intersectional approaches to development research.
