A Framework of Intersectional Risk Theory in the Age of AmbivalenceMethodological Applications

A Framework of Intersectional Risk Theory in the Age of Ambivalence: Methodological Applications [This chapter explores some key methodological applications using intersectional approaches to analyse risk. The point of departure is that multiple methods are needed to explore the different perspectives of risk and inequality. The chapter begins with a discussion of methodological implications of an intersectional approach in terms of fluidity and stability followed by an exploration of different methods divided by the structure—agency categorisation. The first category, which is not a category as much as dimensions of system-centred analysis, is exemplified with two studies that analyse two discourses, namely the Swedish policy for the Arctic and the media reporting of a Swedish wildfire in 2014. The second category, which represents different group-centred analyses, is illustrated by an analysis of how risk is done in everyday life.

Abstract

[This chapter explores some key methodological applications using intersectional approaches to analyse risk. The point of departure is that multiple methods are needed to explore the different perspectives of risk and inequality. The chapter begins with a discussion of methodological implications of an intersectional approach in terms of fluidity and stability followed by an exploration of different methods divided by the structure—agency categorisation. The first category, which is not a category as much as dimensions of system-centred analysis, is exemplified with two studies that analyse two discourses, namely the Swedish policy for the Arctic and the media reporting of a Swedish wildfire in 2014. The second category, which represents different group-centred analyses, is illustrated by an analysis of how risk is done in everyday life. Thereafter, the possibility of applying quantitative methods whilst departing from intersectional risk theory is discussed and exemplified.]
