Intersectionality Class, ethnicity and gender
Gillian Evans (2006)
• We should look at the interactions between class, gender and ethnicity
• When studying achievement and ethnicity, sociologists tend to consider things like culture but very rarely social class
• When studying white children they often focus on class rather than ethnicity or culture
Gillian Evans (2006)
• There should be a focus on all of these things and how they interact to advantage or disadvantage children.
Paul Connolly (2006)
• ‘Interaction effect’
• Certain combinations of factors have more effect than others
• For example being female raises performance more when added to being black Caribbean than it does when added to white
• But class differences are much more marked in white pupils
