Send a message

Intersectionality: Intersectionality theory recognizes that individuals experience multiple forms of oppression and privilege simultaneously, such as those related to gender, race, class, and more. It emphasizes the interconnected nature of various social identities and how they intersect to shape an individual's experiences.

Feminist Standpoint Theory: This theory suggests that the experiences and perspectives of marginalized groups, particularly women, provide valuable insights into understanding social structures and inequalities. It emphasizes the importance of listening to and centering the voices of those at the margins.

Queer Theory: Queer theory challenges traditional notions of gender and sexuality, exploring how they are socially constructed and how they intersect with other aspects of identity. It advocates for the deconstruction of binary gender categories.

Postcolonial Feminism: This perspective examines how gender and patriarchy intersect with colonialism, imperialism, and globalization, recognizing that the experiences of women in different parts of the world are shaped by historical and global power dynamics.

Gender and Development Theory: This framework focuses on the relationship between gender and development, highlighting how gender inequalities are intertwined with economic and social development processes

Social Constructionism: This theory argues that gender roles, identities, and norms are socially constructed rather than biologically determined. It highlights how society shapes our understanding of what it means to be masculine or feminine.
