Gender and Sexuality Studies

Gender and Sexuality Studies examines how societal norms and power dynamics shape our understanding of gender and sexual identities. It explores issues like roles, discrimination, and representation, focusing on marginalized voices. Epistemic injustice occurs when someone is wronged specifically in their capacity as a knower, leading to distorted understanding or dismissal of their experiences. This field critiques how knowledge itself is influenced by gender and sexuality, advocating for more inclusive and equitable recognition of diverse perspectives and experiences, ultimately fostering social justice and a deeper understanding of human identity.
