Intersectional Identities in Higher Education

Recognizing the importance of considering and supporting intersecting identities of students in higher education, practitioners seek ways to address diverse identities adequately. Conversations on embracing and caring for the whole student, especially those with multiple marginalizations, become essential in educational practice. The field aims to move beyond siloed identity centers like the Pride Center or Multicultural Student Services to holistically support individuals. Additionally, practitioners emphasize the need for a collective responsibility in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across all areas of higher education.
