ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the background of this framework and discuss how an intersectional framework can help understand the processes of identity for individuals within their social or translocational' positions. Whilst intersectional research is growing in popularity, it is important to acknowledge that the examination and discussion of the interrelatedness of multiple axes of difference has a much longer history than the proliferation of intersectional' studies in recent years. Intersectionality provides a framework to analyse the complexities of individuals' lives by exploring the interaction between gender, race, and other categories of difference in individual lives, social practices, institutional arrangements, and cultural ideologies and the outcomes of these interactions in terms of power' he processes of migration and globalisation have made the world more accessible and connected on the one hand yet concomitantly created a greater sense of uncertainty and isolation on the other, with individuals feeling less anchored in any one place.
