      ab: This paper uses intersectionality to understand how race, gender, and class oppression have influenced the passing of key child welfare policies and precipitated the overrepresentation of Black chil dren in the child welfare system who are low-income. Critical discourse analysis is used to analyze relevant legislation. Results indicate that discussions related to welfare eligibility and the redefinition of poverty as neglect precipitated disproportionate representation. Using intersectionality is essential to understanding the interlocking oppressions that women, children, and families of color face within the child welfare system.
