    Gender and Sexuality as a Subject of Inquiry.

    A. DEFINE GENDER STUDIES AND DISCUSS THE ORIGINS.

    Gender studies is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to


    analysing gender identity and gendered representation. It includes
    women's studies (concerning women, feminism, gender, and politics),
    men's studies and queer studies. Sometimes, gender studies is offered
    together with study of sexuality.
    Gender Studies is dedicated to the study of feminine, masculine
    and LGBT identity. An interdisciplinary approach is used for the study
    of gender and the intersection of gender with other categories of
    identity such as ethnicity, sexuality, class, and nationality. Although
    some of the major methodologies adopted in gender studies are
    inspired by feminist criticism, a wide array of theoretical approaches
    are brought into play to study the categories of gender.

    Gender history is a sub-field of history and gender studies, which


    looks at the past from the perspective of gender. It is in many ways,
    an outgrowth of women's history. The discipline considers in what
    ways historical events and periodization impact women differently
    from men. For instance, in an influential article in 1977, "Did Women
    have a Renaissance?", Joan Kelly questioned whether the notion of a
    Renaissance was relevant to women. Gender historians are also
    interested in how gender difference has been perceived and
    configured at different times and places, usually with the assumption
    that such differences are socially constructed. These social
    constructions of gender throughout time are also represented as
    changes in the expected norms of behavior for those labeled male or
    female. Those who study gender history note these changes in norms
    and those performing them over time and interpret what those
    changes say about the larger social/cultural/political climate.
