This review assesses intersectionality as a theoretical and methodological approach to transnational education policy research. In particular, we are concerned with how the concept is translated and interpreted to interrogate globally circulating education policies and how that transformation might inform the concept within Western and Northern contexts. We acknowledge intersectionality’s origins in U.S. Black feminist scholarship, but anticipate transformations as it travels to “Other” contexts and is translated to theorize systemic inequality in particular albeit interconnected spaces. Examining Eastern and Southern Hemisphere English-language, Chinese-language, and Spanish-language peer-reviewed publications, we ask how intersectionality translates to languages other than English and to Eastern and Southern contexts, and what analytic insights are gained from intersectionality’s travel and translation that may contribute to its reconceptualization in Northern and Western contexts. Intersectionality coupled with transnationalism provides theoretical and methodological might toward understanding complex systems of inequality through/in which education policy travels, critiquing how inequality continues to flourish within nation-states and global-level hierarchies and privileging non-Western/Southern struggles for equity.

跨国教育政策研究的交叉性

本综述将交叉性评估为跨国教育政策研究的一种理论和方法论方法。我们特别关注如何翻译和解释这一概念以询问全球流行的教育政策，以及这种转变如何在西方和北方背景下为该概念提供信息。我们承认交叉性起源于美国黑人女权主义学术，但预计它会在“其他”背景下发生转变，并被转化为系统性不平等的理论化，尽管是相互关联的空间。检查东半球和南半球的英语、中文和西班牙语同行评审出版物，我们询问交叉性如何转化为英语以外的语言以及东部和南部的语境，以及从交叉性的旅行和翻译中获得的分析见解可能有助于其在北方和西方语境中的重新概念化。交叉性与跨国主义相结合，为理解教育政策通过/在其中传播的复杂不平等系统提供了理论和方法论的力量，批判了不平等如何在民族国家和全球等级制度中继续盛行，并为非西方/南方争取公平的斗争提供了特权。
