"If 'Mormon feminism' and 'black Mormon' are rare enough formulations to be regarded by some as oxymorons, Mormon intersectionality must seem doubly strange. Mormonism seldom makes appearances in discussions of intersectionality. Studies of Mormonism likewise do not often incorporate the concept of intersectionality. Our premise is that the two should be brought into closer conversation. Intersectionality points to the compound effects of multiple identity positions as well as the impacts of conjoint axes of social-cultural marginalization. This chapter examines the application, or lack thereof, of intersectionality to Mormonism. It identifies work and activism—both potential and actual—that utilize intersectional approaches or perspectives. Its conclusions are more programmatic than substantive, in part because very little truly intersectional analysis has yet been undertaken on Mormonism, and in part due to the complexity of summarizing the variety of intersections that could and should be studied. Above all, it calls for greater attention to intersectional concerns among those who study Mormonism. We begin by defining and contextualizing the concept of intersectionality. We then suggest two ways in which Mormonism may be considered intersectionally: with Mormonism as one of many (often marginalized) identities and with Mormonism as its own socio-cultural system that produces its own (often intersectional) marginalizations. Within the latter approach to LDS intersectionality, we focus first on responses to Mormonism’s marginalizations, and second on the role of intersectionality within Mormon Studies. Along the way, and especially in the conclusion, we propose directions for future research." [Authors]
