Description
This module will provide students with an introduction to intersectionality and a critical understanding of how the concept can be deployed to analyse structural violence and marginalisation. We will approach these critical debates in diverse humanitarian contexts building from case study examples and real-life scenarios from different parts of the world. The module will relate stigmatised intersectional social positions and identities to global policies and practices aimed to reduce inequality, inequity, and marginalisation which sometimes contribute to experiences of violence in diverse countries and contexts. Gender-based violence, including domestic abuse and violence directed at women and children, will be used to enhance students critical understanding of systemic power abuses. Through real-world examples and visual communication theory, students will step into diverse humanitarian core questions to fully appreciate the complexity of power relations, how they are upheld, reproduced visually (through marginalised representations) and how they can be transformed.听
