An emerging and important area of occupational therapy practice involves engaging with various individuals and population groups who live in marginalizing conditions that result in health inequities.
This paper calls for more critical and intersectional analyses of occupational therapy in the context of marginalized populations.
Intersectionality has the potential to reveal important and complex interactions among social systems that create and sustain marginalization and to inform more nuanced, contextualized, and socially responsive forms of occupational therapy. Central to this process is the co-construction of knowledge with people who experience marginalization. Engaging in this work requires occupational therapists to undertake ongoing critical reflexivity to attend to our sociohistorical positioning of power and privilege in relation to marginalized populations.
Complicating our discourse on marginalized populations is imperative to enacting our critical potential in working toward social justice and health equity.
职业治疗实践中一个新兴且重要的领域涉及与生活在导致健康不平等的边缘化状况中的各种个人和人群打交道。
本文呼吁在边缘化人群的背景下对职业治疗进行更批判性和交叉性的分析。
交叉性有潜力揭示社会系统之间重要且复杂的相互作用，这些相互作用造成并维持了边缘化状态，并为更细致入微、因地制宜且具有社会响应性的职业治疗形式提供信息。这一过程的核心是与经历边缘化的人们共同构建知识。从事这项工作要求职业治疗师持续进行批判性反思，以关注我们相对于边缘化人群在权力和特权方面的社会历史定位。
使我们关于边缘化人群的论述复杂化，对于发挥我们在追求社会正义和健康公平方面的批判性潜力至关重要。
