Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, and historical constructions of gender and sexuality. It explores how these constructs influence identities, roles, and power dynamics within societies. Gender Studies analyzes the lived experiences of individuals and groups, focusing on issues such as gender inequality, feminism, masculinity, LGBTQ+ rights, and the intersectionality of gender with other social categories like race, class, and ethnicity. The field draws on various academic disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, literature, and political science, to address questions about gender identity, representation, and the ways in which societal norms shape behavior and expectations. Gender Studies aims to promote understanding and advocacy for social justice by critically engaging with the ways gender impacts both individual lives and broader social structures.
