Oppression is a research area that focuses on the systematic and pervasive mistreatment, discrimination, and marginalization of certain groups in society. This mistreatment can take many forms, such as discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, or socioeconomic status. Researchers in this area strive to understand the root causes of oppression, its impact on individuals and communities, and how it can be effectively challenged and dismantled. Studies in this area often draw on concepts from sociology, psychology, critical theory, and other disciplines to analyze power dynamics, privilege, and resistance to oppression. The ultimate goal of research in this area is to promote social justice and equality for all individuals and groups.
