Beyond Intermarginality: A Case for IntersectionalitySr. Victoria Marie. The author has been engaged in community development research and evaluation in inner-city Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. The area is not an ethnic or racial ghetto but an area where poverty is the common denominator among diverse ethnic groups. In this situation, the examination of points of diversity or difference and those of homogeneity, include a reflexive look at the position of the researcher. This paper explores how otherness is perceived and represented and looks at intersectionality as a framework for examining intermarginal research where there is asymmetry of peripheral positions between the researcher and the researched as well as a framework for exploring research situations where the researcher is a member of a marginal group and the research participants are not. This paper is exploratory and aims to stimulate new questions rather than provide answers.
