This project explores the frameworks and statistical methods for intersectional analysis. Specifically, the project aims to share knowledge and skills across the social sciences and develop what I call a Geometric Quantitative Intersectional Analysis (GQIA). This reconciles siloed thinking about the simultaneous positioning of individuals across different structures of power developed by intersectional perspectives and quantitative perspectives traditionally used for the study of class structures.
The ultimate ambition is to mobilise the untapped potential of Geometric Data Analysis for unveiling the detailed structures underlying multidimensional relations between class, gender and ethnicity. Its unique approach makes it ideal for producing a more nuanced sociological analysis of intersecting inequalities at a time of rising wealth and income inequalities, allowing one to account for the role of multiple class, gender and ethnic categories (among many others) in hierarchy-making processes and the drawing of social boundaries.
This project is funded by the British Academy’s Talent Development Award (2024-25).
