Crossing the Divide: An Intersectional Approach to Data Analysis

Conference: Division for Early Childhood’s 39th Annual International Conference
Date: December 2023
Presenters: Nicholas Ortiz, Kellen Reid, Elizabeth Schroeder

This presentation from DEC 2023 Conference demonstrates ways to apply an intersectional approach to data analysis. DaSy/ECTA staff offer a grounding definition of the approach, highlight various examples of intersectional narratives in everyday media, and walk through a specific example of intersectional analysis of child outcomes data. A 619 state partner discusses how they have applied this approach to analyzing outcomes data at the state and local levels. We round out the presentation with equity considerations for dealing with small Ns and using qualitative data, plus additional resources on the subject.
