New Publication: Missing Intersectionality. Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Class in Current Research and Policies on Romani Women in Europe.

A new policy study by Angela Kocze was published in October 2009 as part of the CPS Policy Studies Series.

In the study the author explores if and how an awareness of the specificity and complexity of the situation of Romani women has permeated the existing policy discourse on Romani women, and shows that, despite some recognition of the specific situation of Romani women, there still has been no significant shift in policy debates that would indicate the integration of an intersectional understanding of Romani women’s social position into policy-making. The paper concludes with some general guidelines for using an intersectional approach in policy research and policy-making, including a discussion of intersectional methodology.
