Book Preview: #1 Intersectionality is a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity in the world, in people, and in human experiences. It is a term that has stuck, and it is used by stakeholders to describe their understandings of intersectionality. #2 Intersectionality is a useful analytic tool for thinking about and developing strategies to achieve campus equity. It is not a new phenomenon, and people in the Global South have used it as an analytical tool. #3 Intersectionality is used as a heuristic tool to address many different issues and social problems. It is a core insight that major axes of social divisions in a given society at a given time, for example, race, class, gender, sexuality, and age, operate not as discrete and mutually exclusive entities, but build on each other and work together. #4 The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was a huge success, but the costs associated with hosting the event came at a high price. The exorbitant cost of stadiums, the displacement of urban dwellers for construction, and the embezzlement of public funds became a new theme at the forefront of public protests
