✨Open-access publication @ersjournal.com✨ Drawing on intersectionality, spatial & standpoint theory, I propose the framework of 'locational intersectionality' as a decolonial margin standpoint on structural inequality across scales. doi.org/10.1080/0141...

ABSTRACT
This article introduces the conceptual framework of locational intersectionality – a margin standpoint on structural inequalities across multiple scales within the colonial-neoliberal world order. Locational intersectionality pays close attention to how unequal power relations shape mutually-constitutive scales, from the body and community to the national and transnational, revealing a continuity that spans space and time. It advances the scholarship that combines intersectionality and space to analyse power inequalities. It does so through a decolonial reworking of intersectionality that, while acknowledging the centrality of race, foregrounds the global South margins, illustrated here through India's stratified caste system. The framework also emerges from a critique of how spatial theorising depoliticised intersectionality by dismissing identity politics. From the #MeToo movement against sexual violence to unequal COVID-19 health outcomes, I demonstrate how this approach lends a situated understanding of oppression, resistance, and justice. Lastly, I examine how locational intersectionality frames epistemology, including our positional reflexivity and citation politics.
