Gender and Sexuality Studies
Mock Exam
Course Introduction
Gender and Sexuality Studies explores the social, cultural, historical, and political construction of gender and sexual identities. The course examines how gender and sexuality intersect with race, class, nationality, and other forms of identity, as well as how these intersections influence power dynamics and social structures. Students analyze theoretical frameworks, activist movements, and cultural representations related to gender and sexuality, gaining a critical understanding of issues such as inequality, discrimination, and the impact of policies on diverse communities. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the course encourages thoughtful dialogue and reflection on contemporary debates surrounding gender, sexuality, and human rights.
