Intersectionality refers to different forms of discrimination and disadvantage intersecting and overlapping experiences of individuals. Higher (creative) education contexts are similar to social settings, which might involve concerns about race, gender, sexual orientation, class, ability, religion, and other identities. For example, every student may face discrimination based on their diverse backgrounds, and this intersection of identities may impact their experiences in higher (creative) education negatively. To eliminate challenges and barriers not only for students but for all participants in the environment, according to current literature, intersectionality in higher (creative) education is applied by acknowledging different identities, creating more inclusive classes, and involving a wide variety of backgrounds in the settings. However, without a supporting system approach, implications may become ineffective and turn into negative outcomes. Moreover, without addressing students’ different interests and learning capacities, only inclusive classes based on identities may come out with unfavourable results. Therefore, this chapter proposes a new system approach to provide optimum intersectionality in higher (creative) education settings in order to create an inclusive environment for all while enhancing the learning experience.
