Course summary

Explore sexuality theories and transnational issues of sexual activism, while developing your own gender studies pathway and focusing on key research areas.The MSc in Gender (Sexuality) is an interdisciplinary programme that explores sexuality theories and transnational issues of sexual activism and legal frames.This is a flexible degree, and you’ll develop expertise in gender theories, as well as gaining an understanding of the significance of gender and sexuality in research design.Throughout the programme, you’ll learn how to treat sexuality as an object of study, as an analytic approach, and as a way of thinking across disciplinary boundaries. Organised around broad themes, you will be introduced to new developments and critical frameworks such as queer theory, trans politics and arguments about the "sexualisation of culture" and cultural production.A key focus of the degree is the ethical and intellectual issues that arise from practicing gender and sexuality studies.
