关于关于
The field of women’s studies aims to decenter the dominant narratives of history that traditionally favor men, and replace the patriarchal viewpoint with the voices of the marginalized, making women the focus of study and the agents of change in history. The growth of the field women’s studies has beyond the critical understanding of women, however. Queer communities, women of color and other political communities and movements, such as Marxism and anti-colonialism, are also included in the curriculum. The politicized nature of women’s studies also seeks to confront present-day sexism, racism and imperialism. By situating the movement not just within the academy, but beyond, women’s studies challenges injustice in the workplace and in the political system. Its very intersectionality, in other words, goes beyond borders, not just in terms of disciplines of study or constructed identities, but beyond nation, making the study of women, gender, and sexuality transnational in scope.
