Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the social, cultural, and historical constructions of gender and sexuality. It examines how these constructs influence individual identities, social relations, and power dynamics within societies. The field encompasses a variety of perspectives and disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, literature, and feminist theory, among others.
