Overview

Gender studies is an exciting interdisciplinary field of inquiry that is informed by the belief that all social processes and institutions are 'gendered'. Studies in this area bring innovative theory and research techniques to understanding the ways in which our bodies are sexed, gendered and sexually oriented, how these relate to contemporary and global debates on gender inequality, sexual and reproductive health and rights and the plurality of sexualities. You will be introduced to a variety of critical models of analysis - feminist and queer - that will assist you in developing a range of methodological skills, including problem-solving skills. You will also develop transferable professional skills in gender analysis and an ethos of gender equality and social justice that is transferable to your future career.
