About
The Intersectionality Learning College
Our Mission
The Intersectionality Learning College exists to address a critical gap in how public systems understand and respond to human experience.
Across many sectors, harm does not arise from intent alone, but from systems that are procedurally misaligned, emotionally underdeveloped, or insufficiently attuned to the realities of trauma, inequality, and intersectional disadvantage. These failures are often addressed at the level of individuals, rather than at the level of the system itself. Our work focuses on the structures, processes, and decision-making frameworks that shape outcomes. By examining how systems operate and where they become dysregulated we support institutions to move beyond individualised explanations and towards clearer, fairer, and more accountable systemic practice.
Our Purpose
​The Intersectionality Learning College exists to advance institutional emotional intelligence, procedural justice, and trauma-informed systemic reform through research, education, and the development of psychologically grounded frameworks that transform how public systems serve diverse and marginalised communities​.
Our Approach
Our approach is grounded in research, lived insight, and systems thinking. We focus on understanding how institutional processes, decision-making, and professional cultures shape outcomes and where misalignment can lead to harm, exclusion, or escalation. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, we develop frameworks that support reflection, clarity, and accountability at a systemic level. These frameworks inform professional education, dialogue, and practice across complex institutional environments. Our work is deliberately structured, reflective, and proportionate, supporting organisations to engage with complexity without oversimplification, and to build more procedurally just and emotionally intelligent systems over time.
Our Values
Procedural Justice:
We are committed to fairness, transparency, and due process in how systems make decisions and exercise power.
Psychological Safety:
We recognise the impact of trauma, stress, and imbalance within institutions, and prioritise emotionally intelligent and humane practice.
Integrity:
Our work is grounded in honesty, evidence, and ethical responsibility, without distortion or simplification.
Accountability:
We believe systems must take responsibility for their structures, processes, and outcomes, rather than placing blame on individuals.
Dignity:
Human dignity sits at the centre of our work, informing how systems engage with complexity, difference, and lived experience.
