Sociology of Gender

Exploring the various concepts of power and the interpretation-classification of life, gender is analyzed in relation to different sociological schools, with the aim of understanding the connections between gender identity and these schools of thought. The aim is to provide an introductory understanding of how gender has been and is being interpreted by sociological schools, as well as through decolonial sociology. It does not aim simply to study a genealogy of gender, but to understand why we end up with the need for a decolonial, intersectional, trans-intersex and queer feminist theory and sociology. The aim is to reveal the overlapping forms of oppression, classification and inequality that continue to develop and perpetuate today, as well as to explore the resistance against these forms of oppression, through and through our theoretical sociological tools.
