    Overlapping Inequalities in the Welfare State. An Introduction
    (Springer International Publishing, 2024) Akkan, Başak; Hahmann, Julia; Kuhn, Melanie
    Since the 1980s, intersectionality has received significant recognition as a feminist framework with its theoretical, methodological, and political elements, offering a vigorous understanding of social inequalities that are multifaceted and overlapping in nature. By drawing upon the vast body of feminist literature and adopting a critical and process-focused approach to intersectionality, this edited book explores how the conceptual frame of intersectionality contributes to the analysis of the complex and interconnected inequalities within the welfare state, examining them on macro, meso and micro-levels, including institutions and everyday social practices. By emphasizing the recognition of selective factors of inequalities across diverse institutional domains, organizational settings, and society at large, the volume seeks to expose how multiple forms of inequalities persistently endure within the multilayered institutional boundaries, policies, and practices of modern welfare states. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024, corrected publication 2024.

    Overlapping Inequalities in the Welfare State: Strengths and Challenges of Intersectionality Framework
    (Springer International Publishing, 2024) Akkan, Başak; Hahmann, Julia; Hunner-Kreisel, Christine; Kuhn, Melanie
    The volume stresses the relevance of the intersectionality framework in welfare state analysis by examining overlapping inequalities within the shifting institutional boundaries and organisational processes across diverse welfare settings. The volume explores the strengths and challenges of theoretical and methodological approaches to intersectionality, addressing its spatial, temporal and comparative dimensions. It, therefore, adopts a critical and process-focused approach while recognising the agency of individuals as subjects of state policies. The contributions critically build the link between intersectionality and other theoretical frameworks and research paradigms, including Marxist social reproduction theory, critical race studies, Bourdieuan analysis of class, critical geography, childhood, queer, migration, and disability studies. The contributions provide insights into the institutional realms of health, education, social services, and care work and examine state practices of racial profiling and policing in distinct welfare states. Overall, the contributions illustrate the strengths of the intersectionality framework in empirical inquiries while providing critical reflections on its limitations. Readers across a diverse array of social science disciplines will find this book valuable. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024, corrected publication 2024.
