Intersectionality, the Production of Difference and Norwegian Transnational Adoptees' Identity Work

Does intersectionality contribute to the production of knowledge, and if so, how? Does it provide us with new possibilities, or does it obscure rather than reveal anything new? In this article, I intend to further discussions about intersectionality by relating this concept to my own study of transnational adoptees' identity work. I focus on how intersectionality as an analytical tool can be operationalized in a concrete empirical study. I also bring the empirical data into dialogue with the concept of intersectionality in order to discuss how intersectionality can be developed further by interrogating the ways in which categories intersect.
