Theoretical triangulation draws on alternative theories as analytical frameworks to explore different viewpoints about research phenomena. Feminist intersectionality provides a rich examination of phenomena at the intersection of conditions of power, privilege, and oppression; critical and symbolic interaction theoretical perspectives provide for additional depth of analysis and critique of the complex dynamics that shape family life.
