Gender Studies
Final Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the social, cultural, political, and historical constructions of gender and sexuality. The course examines how gender identities and roles are created, maintained, and challenged across different societies and time periods. Students engage with theories of feminism, masculinity, queer studies, and intersectionality to analyze power dynamics, representation, and experiences related to gender. Through critical readings and discussions, the course encourages students to question assumptions, understand gender diversity, and reflect on the impacts of gender in various aspects of personal and societal life.
