Intersectionality: how the multiplier effect divides and reduces student success

We held our first online APS seminar of the new academic year on the morning of 30 September 2021 themed 'Intersectionality: how the multiplier effect divides and reduces student success'.  

At this seminar we shared examples of good work in practice where two or more protected characteristics meet to amplify the negative impact on student outcomes.
