Sammanfattning
Intersectionality is a commonly used perspective in issues regarding social inequality and
injustice in several fields, and has also been introduced in disability studies. In legal systems,
social inequality and rule of law are closely connected. The court is an arena that is known both to
produce and reproduce social inequality. The purpose of this article is to raise and discuss the
question of how intersectionality may serve as a productive theoretical approach in research on
disability and rule of law. We discuss in what ways intersectionality as a perspective may contribute
to rule of law for disabled people in Western legal systems. Our intention is to investigate the
potential of intersectionality as a sensitizing perspective within a process-oriented model for
analytical sensibility. Intersectionality as a perspective in relation to disability and rule of law is
explored with categorization and gender in focus.
