Gender, Power Dynamics, and Social Institutions

This exam investigates the nexus between gender and power dynamics as they manifest within various social institutions, such as the family, education, and the workforce. Students will critically analyze how institutional practices reinforce or challenge gender norms.

Understanding these relationships is vital, as they reveal the structural inequalities prevalent in society and affect individuals' lived experiences. A critical examination of power dynamics enables scholars to propose potential reforms to promote gender equity.

The verbal assessment will evaluate the student's ability to articulate the influence of social institutions on gender roles. This includes discussing institutional practices that perpetuate or disrupt traditional gender narratives.

Students are encouraged to support their arguments with examples from contemporary case studies, demonstrating their ability to connect theory to real-world applications.
