PAL PATEL – INTERSECTIONALITY IN EDUCATION

Pal’s research explores how intersectionality affects the educational experience of young people (age 15-25).

Through ethnographic reflection and co-created interventions, this project seeks to amplify positive aspects of intersectionality while mitigating its negative impacts. Key questions include:

• How does intersectionality shape young people’s experiences in education?
• Does education about, and understanding of, intersectionality make young people feel empowered enough to take control of their story?
• What interventions can educators and young people create together to foster a more inclusive learning environment?
• How can time and space be created within education to support and empower young people who often lack these opportunities?

How You Can Get Involved

Pal is looking for:

• Teachers and school support staff (working with Years 10-13) passionate about educational equality.
• Young people (aged 15-25) willing to share their experiences of intersectionality in education.
