Relief Maps are conceived as a means of visualizing and analysing data, and a means of conceptualizing intersectionality. It consists of a tool used to carry out searches and, although it is in the form of a graph, it is called a “map”. It is a methodological tool for research with an intersectional perspective. It takes into account three dimensions:

• Psychological (emotions)
• Geographical (places)
• Social (identities)

To do this, first proceed to make an analysis of how you feel (wellbeing/discomfort) in different places (e.g., your home, your work, your family of origin’s home, the street, etc.) with respect to different dimensions that construct you as a social subject (gender, raciality, age, sexuality, social class, etc.).

Then draw an outline using different colours to build your “relief map”.
