Objectives and Contextualisation
This subject offers significant knowledge related to the following goals:
- To understand the psychosocial factors (personal and interactional, historical and cultural) that intervene in the configuration of gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation.
- To understand how power relations influence the intersectional constitution of dominant social categories.
- To analyse the processes of subjection and subjectivisation involved in the intersectional construction of identities.
- To analyse the processes of performative constitution of identities in concrete interaction contexts.

- Evidences with plagiarism will have a null grade and the grade coordinator will be informed so to take appropriate action.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities, the student will receive a zero as the final grade for the class.
