Intersectionality and Power

Education facts

Code: 5GN044

With departure points in relevant critical perspectives to intersectionality and power, students taking this course will examine and problematise _identity_ as a critical concept, political tool and lived experience. Theories formulated within the field of gender studies are central to the course material with a particular focus on intersectionality. These theories are then applied to examine and critique contemporary and historical perspectives on identity and experience. The intersectional perspectives offered through this course provide tools for analysing social division, segregation, inequality and injustice in relation to issues such as gender, race, class, or ability, and critiquing how power operates within the construction of difference and belonging.
