Theoretical Frameworks of Sexuality: Cultural and Gender Perspectives

This exam focuses on the theoretical frameworks that inform our understanding of sexuality, particularly through sociocultural and gendered lenses. Key theories will include but are not limited to social constructionism, queer theory, and feminist theory.

Understanding these frameworks is crucial in critically examining how sexuality shapes and is shaped by cultural norms, social structures, and gender roles. This knowledge provides essential insights into contemporary issues surrounding identity and representation.

The exam will assess students' ability to articulate these conceptual frameworks and their implications for societal norms. Students will demonstrate their understanding through structured verbal responses.

Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the key theorists and historical contexts that have shaped these frameworks. A focus on articulation and the ability to engage with critical discourse is paramount.
