Gender Studies MA

Discuss contemporary social issues, focusing on gender, feminist and queer theory, and methodology. This course is ideal for you if you: • seek to develop an existing research interest • are in a career in which issues of gender play an important role • wish to explore a broad range of issues concerning gender. On this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of a range of topics, from identity and the social construction of gender, to political aspects of gender and feminist research. You’ll benefit from the expertise in the Centre for Gender Studies. We look at many areas of gender research, nationally and internationally. We’re intersectional, trans-inclusive and advocate for sex workers’ rights. You’ll also become part of our active student community, and benefit from our strong links with local women’s and LGBT groups. You’ll study in a lively intellectual environment, giving you the opportunity to network with other students from around the world. The global perspective you’ll gain alongside these networks will be valuable after you graduate.
