基于种族、性取向和性/性别的社会身份和社会不平等是交叉的而不是相加的，这一概念提出了各种棘手的方法论挑战。利用对黑人女同性恋者的研究（Bowleg，正在准备的手稿; Bowleg等人，Journal of Lesbian Studies，2008; Bowleg et al.，Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology 10：229-240，2004; Bowleg等人，Journal of Lesbian Studies，7：87-108，2003）作为基础，我研究了这些挑战如何塑造测量，分析和解释。我认为，交叉性研究人员的一个关键困境是，添加剂（例如，黑人+女同性恋+女人）与交叉（例如，衡量以及定性和定量数据分析中固有的假设与交叉性的中心原则相矛盾：社会身份和不平等对黑人女同性恋者等群体来说是相互依存的，而不是相互排斥的。有鉴于此，解释成为交叉性研究者方法论工具箱中最重要的工具之一。
The notion that social identities and social inequality based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, and sex/gender are intersectional rather than additive poses a variety of thorny methodological challenges. Using research with Black lesbians (Bowleg, manuscripts in preparation; Bowleg et al., Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2008; Bowleg et al., Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology 10:229-240, 2004; Bowleg et al., Journal of Lesbian Studies, 7:87-108, 2003) as a foundation, I examine how these challenges shape measurement, analysis, and interpretation. I argue that a key dilemma for intersectionality researchers is that the additive (e.g., Black + Lesbian + Woman) versus intersectional (e.g., Black Lesbian Woman) assumption inherent in measurement and qualitative and quantitative data analyses contradicts the central tenet of intersectionality: social identities and inequality are interdependent for groups such as Black lesbians, not mutually exclusive. In light of this, interpretation becomes one of the most substantial tools in the intersectionality researcher's methodological toolbox.
