Paper Title: Gender Studies: A Paradigm Shift in Perspectives and Discourses
Author:
Abstract:
Gender Studies has emerged as a multidisciplinary field that explores the complex intersections of gender, identity, culture, and power. This paradigm shift has challenged traditional perspectives, deconstructed normative gender binaries and fostered inclusivity in academic discourses. The paper delves into the evolution of gender studies from its feminist roots to its current engagement with intersectionality, queer theory, and transnational perspectives. It examines the historical trajectory of gender discourses, emphasizing the societal, cultural, and institutional structures that shape gender dynamics. By analyzing critical debates and contemporary research, this study aims to highlight the role of gender studies in addressing social inequalities, advocating for equity, and fostering transformative change across disciplines.
Keywords:Gender binaries, Intersectionality, Feminist theory, Queer studies, Inclusivity.
