Today, intersectionality has emerged as a prominent methodological and didactical approach in modern-day social work, providing better insight into how complex frameworks of oppression intersect to create experiences for marginalized populations. In this paper, we present how intersectionality has increasingly become integrated into modern-day education for social work professionals and how this integration affects teaching immediately related to concepts and ideas about identity, power, and structural inequalities. This paper systematically interprets recent studies on how intersectional teaching strategies, methodically including concepts around intellectual frameworks for analysis, experiential, and mindfulness approaches to education, decolonial frameworks, and spiritual notions, contribute to intellectual reflexivity for students amidst complex work environments. This paper also addresses how intersectionalism provides new understandings into the experience for LGBT individuals, racialized girls, refugee youth, immigrants, and migrants, using their interweaving identities to create complex constructs for marginalized experiences.
