Sammendrag
Intergovernmental organizations recognize that people with (dis)abilities experience discrimination in
intersections between oppressive system. For example, the European Union has adopted the term
“multiple discrimination” to describe discrimination on several grounds(Schiek & Lawson, 2011) In the
recent years, researchers within Universal Design of ICT has started to apply intersectional-type methods
to investigate the implications of these intersections in accessibility (Giannoumis & Skjerve, 2020;
Giannoumis & Stein, 2019; Skjerve, Giannoumis, & Naseem, 2016) This thesis presents result from a study
consisting of interviews with persons that holds intersectional identities. The findings show that persons
with intersectional barriers experience unique barriers in relation to cost and affordability, exclusion and
online aggression and learnability. It uses a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach to propose a model
depicting intersectional barriers as a combination of instances and processes. The findings in this thesis
can give direction to future research and inform development- and policy making processes through
identifying points of interest where persons with intersectional identities experiences barriers.
