Overview

MA in Gender and Sexuality Studies is an innovative, interdisciplinary programme located in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies (PPS). The University's approach is highly interdisciplinary and intersectional, combining elements of sociology, psychology, literature, history, politics, human rights, philosophy, and art. On this course, students will gain a strong grounding in the theories and concepts that have been essential to the study of gender and sexuality while also being supported in the exploration of their own unique cross-disciplinary research interests through its wide range of optional modules from across the University. In PPS, the department value the fact that students' choice of study is often deeply motivated by their life experience as well future ambitions -- this is perhaps especially the case with Gender and Sexuality studies. The expertise in psychosocial approaches means that, in studying with University, students will be encouraged to recognise and explore the many ways that issues relating to gender and sexuality bring together personal, social, and political questions (for example, questions of identity and subjectivity, equality and justice, history and global politics). Students will learn from scholars whose current research projects demonstrate their own interests and commitments in the field; its specialisms include intersectional feminist theory and methods; LGBTQ+ politics and activism; gendered childhoods; masculinities and youth work; sexuality and health activism; global perspectives on reproductive justice; human rights and refugee communities.
