Sexuality is analyzed as a socially constructed category shaped by power relations and discourses, with research converging around gender, sexuality, and activism. Methods shift toward critical theory, cultural analysis, and political critique, emphasizing oppression, representation, and resistance. Historical Significance: This paradigm reframes sexuality as a site of political struggle, enabling queer studies and feminist sexuality scholarship to challenge heteronormativity and cultivate community-based activism and policy debates across diverse societies.
