ABSTRACT
This chapter presents feminist reflections on gender, diversity, and intersectionality and explains how Eurosphere's gender action plan has used the intersectionality approach in empirical analyses of political actors' constructions of national and European identities. It addresses gender and diversity in the transnational European policy. The chapter presents an overview of methodological reflections, key concepts, and preliminary findings of the Eurosphere project, with a focus on an analysis of the genderedness of Danish politicians' discourses on ethno-national diversity and integration. It explains that the notion of diversity is gendered in the integration discourses, especially in the articulation of the idea of the 'working woman' and her labor market participation. The chapter explains the background for the feminist shift to intersectionality caused by debates about diversity, multiculturalism, and feminism. It mainly focuses on the 'turn to diversity', which represents a move away from unitary models toward analyzing intersections between the primary social categories.
