Intersectional feminist frameworks offer family science scholars the conceptual lens to consider overlapping systems of identities and power structures in families and society to understand how families live. Yet the shifting politicization of scholarship that examines diversity and inclusion is contributing to the social erasure of people and families who live with marginalized identities, highlighting the ongoing necessity and relevance of intersectional family science scholarship. Intersectionality is a theoretical framework and research paradigm in family studies that allows for systemic critique of inequitable power structures that impact families as well as the production of knowledge. Here, we recognize the changing landscape of higher education and the potential strain that family science scholars at Predominantly White Institutions face. We address the impacts of shifting federal political priorities and policies on intersectional feminist family science scholars and scholarship, how we have been directly affected, and offer strategies for navigating uncertain times
