In this research note, I reflect on conducting a qualitative study on trauma and intimate partner violence (IPV), applying an intersectional lens to constructivist grounded theory methodology. I argue that despite offering an ability to critically examine socially constructed categories of identity, and providing a way to ensure the active inclusion of social justice goals into research, intersectionality is underused within social work research. I also reflect on the particular importance of an intersectional lens in countering the previously identified assumptions of sameness underlying IPV and trauma services. From recounting my research process, I discuss recommendations for further intersectional research, and research on trauma. Recommendations include allowing enough time for recruitment and analysis, making visible the researcher’s role, including a participatory element in studies, and ensuring continuous critical and reflexive processing at all research stages.

在这篇研究笔记中，我反思了对创伤和亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）进行定性研究的方法，将交叉镜头应用于建构主义扎根的理论方法论。我认为，尽管提供了一种批判性地检查社会建构的身份类别的能力，并提供了一种确保将社会正义目标积极纳入研究的方法，但在社会工作研究中却没有充分利用交叉性。我还反思了十字镜在抵制先前确定的IPV和创伤服务的相同性假设方面的特殊重要性。通过叙述我的研究过程，我讨论了进一步交叉研究和创伤研究的建议。建议包括留出足够的时间进行招聘和分析，使研究人员的角色可见，
