DESCRIPTION:The notion of intersectionality has become so commonplace with
 in many disciplines that it sometimes seems overloaded and imprecise as a 
 concept (Davis\, 2008). Yet it is a useful\, shorthand heuristic that allo
 ws researchers to focus on important aspects of their analyses without hav
 ing to discover them from first principles.  Heuristic is not\, however\, 
 counterposed to theory and many people have spent a great deal of time and
  energy theorizing intersectionality. This paper starts by discussing the 
 ways in which intersectionality functions as a shortcut to social understa
 nding for both research participants and researchers. It then considers so
 me of the key features of theoretical debate and dispute about intersectio
 nality before showing some of the ways in which intersectionality can frui
 tfully be applied in a range of research.\n
