The present volume, which is the result of a conference of the Giessen Graduate Center in 2015, contains eight contributions that deal with the intertwining of intersectionality theoretical approaches and approaches of biographical research. As an overarching concern, the authors cite a fundamental exploration of potential interaction between intersectionality and biographical research. The focus is always on the exploration of different experiences of discrimination over the course of a lifetime. Potential points of contact or intersections are developed on the basis of different intersectional categories, such as disability, trans* identity, class, origin or age.
