Intersectionality In Postcolonial Feminism: Theoretical Perspectives

This exam focuses on the theoretical perspectives surrounding intersectionality as it relates to postcolonial feminism. Students will explore how different social categories, including race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, intersect and influence women's identities and experiences.

Grasping intersectionality is crucial for understanding the diverse realities faced by women globally. This understanding equips scholars to engage with feminist theories that prioritize the voices and experiences of marginalized women.

Candidates will be tested on their ability to articulate intersectional theories, provide examples from various contexts, and critically evaluate how these theories reshape feminist discourse. The exam will encourage verbal articulation of complex ideas and theoretical constructs.

Discussion will encompass a variety of feminist texts and intersectional frameworks, fostering critical engagement with the discourse surrounding multiple identities.
