Challenges Conducting Intersectional Research: Reflecting on Studies Exploring Spirituality and Disability Among LGBQ Students

• In Event: General Conference Roundtables
  In Roundtable: Table 48: Supporting and Researching LGBTQ Students

Abstract

This roundtable compares research approaches from two studies examining how LGBQ students understood intersections of their sexual orientation identities with their spiritual and disability identities, respectively. We use Bowleg’s (2008) reflections on the challenges of conducting intersectional research to consider how we approached research design, data collection, and analysis.
