Commentary and Literature Review (August 2013) By Kaisa Vuoristo,\u00a0PhD candidate (joint degree), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al and \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure de Cachan, France.<\/em><\/p>\n The concept of intersectionality has been described as one of the most important theoretical insights of the Women\u2019s Studies literature (McCall 2005, 1771). Although this perspective was first developed within Women\u2019s and Gender studies, it has quickly attracted the attention of other disciplinary fields. Today, important contributions are being made in the area of intersectionality research, especially in Europe. This report aims to review recent publications on the subject in Europe.<\/p>\n
