Theoretical contributions
"Intralocality" is a theoretical perspective conceptualized by Moore. Moore employs intralocality as an analytic that extends Kimberlé Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality. [citation needed] According to Moore, "Borrowing from sociologists, the term 'social location,' which broadly speaks to one's context, highlights one's standpoint(s)—the social spaces where s/he is positioned (i.e., race, class, gender, geographical, etc.) Intralocality, then, is concerned with the social locations that foreground our knowing and experiencing of our world and our relationships to the systems and people within our world. Intralocality is a call to theorize the self in relation to power and privilege, powerlessness and subjugation. It is work that requires the locating of the 'I' in the intersection. And while it could be argued that such work is highly individualistic, I contend that it is at the very level of self-in-relation-to-community where communal transformation is made possible." [citation needed]
Palestinian solidarity work
