Explain what the concept(s) helps us to understand about the social world.

Focus on one concept (or perhaps two interrelated concepts) or ideas expressed in the reading materials for this week. Those concepts/ideas are: Black feminism, Relation of Difference & Power: difference, domination, & equilibrium, Standpoint epistemology, Black feminist standpoint, and Intersectionality, and Matrix of Domination. Which concept/idea did you find most intriguing or powerful? The gist of the assignment is for you to engagein an analytically sound waywith the theories (the explanations) we cover in the course. In order to engage with the theories, you need to:

Clearly identify and define the specific concept(s) used by the theorist (a couple sentences),
Explain what the concept(s) helps us to understand about the social world.
Apply the concept/theory provided by the theorist to a contemporary example, being clear to explain why the example you provide is an example of the concept/theory.
