To answer that, we're going back to our three sociological paradigms and how each school of thought approaches gender theory. We'll look at the structural functionalist view that gender is a way of organizing society into complementary roles, the symbolic interactionist take on how gender guides our daily life, and conflict theory's ideas about how gender distributes power within society.
- Black Feminist (streaming, Academic Video Online) Black Feminist is a feature length documentary film surrounding the double edged sword of racial and gender oppression that black women face in America. This documentary is told through interviews from scholars, lecturers, writers, business owners, veterans, comedians and authors.
