| 4. | Description | Abstract | Studying a phenomenon that has been used to defend social and economic injustices, this abstract looks at the politics of respectability and culture. In order to uphold dominant ideas and silence marginalized voices, respectability politics asserts that some attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles are morally better to others. This abstract examines respectability via a critical lens, showing how it creates shame and guilt, suppresses disadvantaged voices, and upholds societal structures. The abstract posits that the politics of respectability serve as a social control mechanism to uphold power imbalances and enforce prevailing norms, drawing on feminist, critical race, and queer theories. Our goal should be to create a society that is more equal and inclusive by opposing and subverting respectability politics.
