Abstract

This chapter aims to enable a more nuanced conversation about the inclusion of religion in intersectional study, specifically in relation to sexuality. It starts by introducing intersectionality and how we conceptualise it, orienting it around four key ideas: social complexity, multiple interlocking dynamics, relationality, and power. We then consider how religion can be applied to enrich an intersectional approach. After introducing the subsequent eleven contributions in this volume, we end the chapter by offering five suggestions for future research engagements structured around intersectionality and religion, including a more active documentation of voices from the Global South.
