Abstract In this chapter, the authors present key assumptions and tenets of the framework of intersectionality and their relevance and application to college teaching. In addition to discussing several benefits of incorporating intersectionality into teaching, specific strategies for overcoming some of the challenges of teaching from an intersectional perspective are identified. Concrete examples of classroom interventions are given.
