Info about the Project
Understanding users become increasingly complicated when we grapple with various overlapping attributes of an individual's identity. As a term, the user now represents an expanding, diverse set of people. In this work, we introduce intersectionality as a framework for engaging with the complexity of users'-and authors'-identities, and situating these identities in relation to their contextual surroundings.
