Cultural Representations of Intersectional Identities

This exam examines cultural representations of intersectional identities, focusing on how media and art depict race, class, and sexuality alongside gender. Students will explore the implications of these representations for understanding public discourse on identity.

Cultural representations are pivotal in shaping societal perceptions and attitudes toward marginalized communities. The representations examined have significant impacts on policy, social justice movements, and individual identity formation.

Students will be tested on their ability to assess and critique various cultural artifacts, articulating the significance of intersectional representation in their broader cultural contexts.

Candidates are encouraged to engage with a diverse array of cultural outputs to illustrate their verbal analyses, reinforcing their understanding of intersectional identity as it pertains to media.
