...ideology is one that we cannot accept. An understanding of social issues that does not pass through the lens of gender theory, post-colonialism, or theories of racial oppression is an understanding that is not academically rigorous. The more pressing issue, however, is justice; it is unjust to ignore these perspectives. The classic texts of social theory have shaped our understanding of power and humanity up to the present, and it is clear that this understanding must in many ways change.
