This chapter shows how intersectional risk theory (IRT) can contribute to a greater understanding of inequality in relation to health risks. IRT is based on a combination of feminist research and risk research. Compared to other theoretical frameworks, it also helps researchers to uncover how the intersections between risk and inequality are in fact mutually dependent and constituted. This chapter first shows the relevance of IRT to global public health research. Then, it introduces the theoretical framework and its methodological implications. To illustrate how IRT can be applied, it provides a concrete example of expert discourses on elective cesareans (ECS) in Sweden and Brazil. The example highlights the intersections between risk and hegemonic norms and social positions on gender, age, class, and so on. It also shows that the medical discourse on risk in relation to cesarean sections can be both global and local.
