Description
School psychologists can and should be responsible stewards of intersectionality. This paper positions intersectionality as interactions between identity and social locations with special attention to power relations. Presenters interrogate how intersectionality is discussed in school psychology literature through a scoping review. To supplement the limited work within school psychology, transdisciplinary theory, and strategies from counseling psychology (e.g., Moradi & Grzanka, 2017) are applied to the 2020 NASP Practice Model to generate suggestions for research and practice.
