Abstract

Critical theory provides the descriptive and normative bases for social inquiry to identify and critique oppression and inequality to animate more socially just human relations and conditions. First articulated by German sociologists and political scientists in the 1920s, feminist studies, critical legal studies, cultural studies, media studies, gender and queer theory and critical race and tribal critical race theory are among the many contemporary offshoots of critical theory within academia. Critical theory’s capacity to allow researchers to uncover and interrogate power dynamics within diverse human contexts and imagine or evaluate interventions based on their potential to create a more just human order, constitutes its main strengths.
