The purpose of this article is to explore moments of shared authority when working with archived interviews and to suggest how the use and understanding of shared authority as an analytical concept might be advanced and elaborated in conjunction with the concept of intersectionality, borrowed from another research field (in this case, gender studies). We aim to hear and acknowledge the different voices, dialogues and silences of those who documented and those who are documented. We listen to their archived voices and dialogues to find moments of shared authority and analyse how the shared authority plays out during the interviews through intersectional analyses of the archived interview narratives
