This commentary responds to Sangaramoorthy and Benton's commentary about the possibilities and pitfalls of putting intersectionality and syndemics into conversation. Echoing their emphasis on the significant stakes of intersectionality in advancing health equity and social justice, I assert the need for health and social scientists to advance scholarship and activism that works to dismantle white supremacy. Doing so requires using every theoretical and methodological tool possible, including an intersectionality-informed syndemics. Using ongoing fieldwork from Central Florida as an example, I provide a brief ethnographic account of what an intersectionality-informed syndemics might look like on-the-ground, and how such an effort might advance long-term, intersectional social justice goals.
这篇评论回应了 Sangaramoorthy 和 Benton 关于将交叉性和综合征纳入对话的可能性和陷阱的评论。我赞同他们强调交叉性在促进健康公平和社会正义方面的重要性，我主张健康和社会科学家需要推进学术研究和行动，以消除白人至上主义。为此，需要使用包括交叉性启发的综合征学在内的一切可能的理论和方法工具。我以佛罗里达州中部的正在进行的实地工作为例，简要描述了基于交叉性的综合征学在实践中的可能表现，以及这种努力如何推进长期的、交叉性的社会正义目标。
