   In recent years, the intersectional perspective has been highlighted in
   research focused on acknowledge how discrimination articulates by
   different structures of oppression. The perspective is widely
   disseminated by the ideas of American black jurist and feminist,
   Kimberlé Crenshaw, who systematized the concept of “intersectionality”
   in 1989 in the United States. In Brazil, and a few years earlier but
   still in the 1980s, Lélia Gonzalez already denounced the effects of the
   double oppression of sexism and racism over black women. Beyond
   universities, the concept has been appropriated by social movements. It
   also circulates in discourses on digital platforms that try to draw
   attention to the way these oppressions cross and structure the everyday
   practices of many people. Thus, this configures huge gaps in spaces of
   power and construction of knowledge. The debate on intersectionality
   and its effects in everyday lives finds fertile ground in digital
   platforms for the inclusion of diverse experiences and concrete
   experiences in view of the particularity of each person.


   We announce a call for a special issue of Fronteiras Journal, a
   Brazil-based open access journal, on intersectionality and digital
