Editing Matrix of domination (section)

=== In the welfare state ===
In the United States, especially, the matrix of domination has implications within the welfare state. Several sociological studies on the welfare state take note of state-market relations while ignoring the salient roles held by other identities such as gender, race, class, language, and age, among others.<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|title=Politics, Gender, and Concepts|last1=Mazur|first1=Amy G.|last2=Goertz|first2=Gary|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2008|isbn=9780521897761|location=United Kingdom}}</ref> Due to the nature of the welfare state, there has not been much regard for exploring the existence of multiple axes of oppression which has led to lineation of categories of race, class, and gender.<ref name=":5" /> In ''Politics, Gender, and Concepts'', Gary Goertz and Amy Mazur assert that literature about the welfare state should focus on the relationship between social positions and social policies, as well as provide a framework for investigations into the causal effects of class, gender, and race. As such, using the idea of a matrix of domination in these kinds of studies provides a basis for empirical research on the relationship between social positions and policies, and also, for a comparison between the outcomes of social policies on marginalized and privileged women.<ref name=":5" />
