Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, and political constructions of gender and sexuality. It explores how these constructs influence identity, power dynamics, and societal norms, often focusing on issues related to feminism, masculinity, and sexuality.
The field encourages critical analysis of how gender intersects with other identities, such as race, class, and ethnicity. By studying these intersections, Gender Studies aims to challenge traditional narratives and promote social justice, equality, and inclusivity in various contexts, including education, media, and policy-making.
