To evaluate the adoption of intersectionality within political science and establish coherent empirical standards for treating it as a rigorous research paradigm.
Conducted a close textual and methodological reading of published political science literature focusing on race and gender across disciplinary subfields.
Intersectionality demonstrates varied influence across sociology, law, and political science subfields such as public policy and electoral behavior without holding a systematic foothold.
Identified empirical standards to treat social categories like race, gender, and class as interacting and simultaneous structures rather than simple additive variables.
