The standpoint theory, created by Sandra Harding and Julia T. Wood, basically states “where you sit is where you stand.” Standpoint is defined as a place from which to critically view the world around us. Depending on where you are socially, geographically, etc., your view on the world may be different from someone who is at a different vantage point. An example of this is present in everyday life between parents and children, police and civilians, teachers and students, etc.
