The study argues for a relational and plural understanding of the right to the city, grounded in situated and intersectional experiences that reveal how belonging and exclusion are co-produced in urban life.

It frames the right to the city within broader debates in urban theory, addressing tensions between economic perspectives and feminist, postcolonial, and queer critiques. It shows how these dynamics unfold in Southern Europe through distinct colonial, migratory, and racial logics

📑Based on a qualitative methodology combining Relief Maps and interviews, the article examines how intersecting social positions shape urban experiences, producing specific forms of exclusion and negotiation across both public and private spaces

6/ ✍️La interseccionalitat pot ajudar a desenvolupar polítiques climàtiques més justes tenint en compte experiències diferenciades de la població.
October 31, 2025 at 12:33 PM
5/ 🧮Reptes i camins: cal enfortir metodologies (mixtes, participatives i transdisciplinàries) i ampliar l'estudi dels eixos de desigualtat per consolidar aquest camp emergent.
October 31, 2025 at 12:33 PM
4/ La revisió crítica de la literatura demostra que la interseccionalitat és clau per:
1️⃣ Poder fer una lectura sistèmica del canvi climàtic
2️⃣ Reconèixer la diversitat i context en les experiències climàtiques
3️⃣ Avançar cap a la #JustíciaClimàtica

3/ 👥La recerca existent mostra com gènere, classe, racialització, edat, estat civil o lloc de residència modelen vulnerabilitats, responsabilitats i capacitats d’adaptació. Cal més recerca sobre eixos de desigualtat com l'orientació sexual o la (dis)capacitat.
October 31, 2025 at 12:33 PM
2/ 🌏⚖️L’article mostra que la interseccionalitat és clau per entendre el canvi climàtic com a problema social i estructural, no només ambiental.

Validation isn't just about stats but rather about:
💬 Listening to lived experiences
👀 Questioning neutrality
📍 Locating knowledge in context
With our spiral validation, we offer a replicable model for researchers designing tools beyond the binary.
April 10, 2025 at 10:01 AM
Our article fills a gap in the literature on validating tools grounded in feminist and intersectional frameworks.
It's more than testing the tool: it’s about co-construction, ethics & deep reflection.
April 10, 2025 at 10:01 AM
📍 What’s new in our approach?
– Non-linear, iterative validation
– Mixed methods
– Grounded in standpoint theory & data feminism
– Centered on ethics, positionality & reflexivity
