In this paper, three intertwined core concepts are investigated – intersectionality (definition, history, fields of application), social work (definition), and disability (definition, typology, implications). The author discusses the relationship between intersectionality and disability and between intersectionality, social work, and disability. He further analyses social work practice with disability individuals/ communities from three perspectives – anti-oppression, cultural competence, and intersectionality. The conclusion is that these latter components are unequally targeted in literature and that there is still much work to do in the field.
Keywords: Intersectionality, social work practice, disability, anti-oppression, cultural competence, communities
