Power Dynamics in Cultural Theory

This exam addresses power dynamics as central tenets in cultural theory, challenging students to assess how power influences cultural norms and identities. Key areas of focus include race, gender, and class.

Engagement with power dynamics in culture provides critical insights into social hierarchies and the mechanisms of marginalization. Understanding these concepts is crucial for scholars aiming to contribute to social justice discussions.

Candidates will demonstrate their proficiency in articulating power-related theories and analyzing sociocultural phenomena through a critical lens. Verbal articulation of complex ideas will be tested.

Students may be asked to connect theoretical insights to real-world contexts, enhancing their analytical skills and conceptual clarity.
