Intersectional history

Ellen C. Shaffner

Chapter 89 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Historical Organisation Studies, 2026, pp 330-333 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This entry explores the concept of intersectional history, discussing intersectional history as a theoretical approach for historical organization studies. Focusing on the term as conceptualized by Shaffner, Mills and Helms Mills (2019) and Shaffner (2022), this entry reviews the concept by discussing the need for intersectional history, its four philosophical contours and its potential usefulness for studying organizations over time. The entry also features several examples of intersectional history as it has been applied, and it offers considerations for employing this approach in historical organizational studies.
