Our ISSET-colleagues Pooja Patki, Corinna Dengler, Nathan Barlow, and Lukas Heck have recently published „Project Guidelines on Intersectional Justice“ for the interdisciplinary post-growth research project 'Models, Assessments and Policies for Sustainability (MAPS)' funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme.

MAPS commits to intersectional justice as a guiding principle and cross-cutting theme and this commitment calls for the recognition and alleviation of intersectional injustices. These pioneering guidelines define intersectional injustice as the compounded or overlapping discrimination and disadvantages experienced by individuals or groups due to the intersection of multiple social identities and structural deprivations such as race, class, gender, geography, (dis)ability, sexuality, caste, and education, among others. Intersectional justice, thus involves a recognition and redressal of these injustices, and these guidelines aim at establishing what such a recognition and redressal can look like in project management, theoretical-conceptual work, qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as in the communication, dissemination, and exploitation of MAPS.

Applying the Project Guidelines on Intersectional Justice to MAPS’ different project areas can help enhancing the overall impact and integrity of our project. The full report can be accessed here: https://mapsresearch.eu/publications/maps-project-guidelines-on-intersectional-justice/
