Course summary

Gender studies explore some of the great debates of our time. With growing commitment to gender equity and social justice comes a demand for gender expertise (source: Gender Equality at Every Stage). This MLitt Genders and Sexualities course blends research skills with feminist and queer theory. You’ll study gender and queer identities in fields like media, history, literature, sociology, and curation. The course also explores gender and sexual debates and practices worldwide. We’ll empower you with critical thinking skills to understand how gender and sexuality shape and challenge our world. Difference between MLitt and MSc MLitt core modules offer a broad framework based on feminist and queer theory. If you choose the MSc degree route, you’ll take two additional core modules on research methods. These focus on quantitative and qualitative data analysis. These skills are crucial if you want to do further postgraduate research in social sciences. Ideas, debate and concepts You’ll engage in contemporary and international debates across a wide variety of disciplines.
