Abstract

[This chapter introduces the central concepts of the book: risk and intersectionality. First, risk as a theoretical concept is introduced and defined, followed by a discussion of the relationship amongst risk, uncertainty, and power. Thereafter, the concept of intersectionality and its development are presented and our own standpoint is defined. Thus, we do not appropriate a concept that has become very popular across fields of research, but rather, we want to acknowledge and use this perspective in the tradition of critical gender studies to make new understandings of risk possible. The chapter ends with a brief introduction of the intersectional risk theory, and how new understandings and analyses of risk can be achieved through an intersectional perspective.]
