Consequently, this skill links to and engages with other skills referencing the importance of understanding individual and collective identities as well as personal positions and privileges.

This theory (developed by Kimberlé Crenshaw) emphasizes the presence-and impact-of multiple marginalizations or the experience of several intersecting oppressions at the same time. This skill was created by thinking about inequity through a prism of intersectionality, and it foregrounds the importance of considering its significance in a university context. Alongside this, exploring related concepts (such as Kobena Mercer's theory of the burden of representation) allows an opportunity to investigate 1. individual and collective responsibilities for confronting inequity at university, 2. the importance of acknowledging privileges and oppressions as well as how these function in relation to other people, and 3. how these personal experiences may be integrated into work around equity and inequity at university-not just in terms of advocacy and activism but also in terms of research and study. This last point, in connecting to individual responsibility and personal experience around inequity, links both to the importance of intersectionality and to the idea of the burden of representation by highlighting some of the expectations that may be placed on marginalized people and groups when addressing inequity. It also therefore links to another issue-termed institutional responsibility. In addition to referencing the…
