This graphic is perfect for my sociological theory class. We discussed feminist theory and intersectionality last week, CRT and postcolonial theory this week, and will be looking at queer theory next. Thanks for sharing it. Also, thanks for your book. I’ve had it for a while & read it this week 1/2
