MA Gender Studies: University of Sussex

About the programme

The MA applies historical, sociological, anthropological, and political perspectives to the field of gender studies. The programme aims to cater equally for those seeking to develop an existing research interest, those in a career in which issues of gender play an important role, and those who simply wish to explore a broad range of issues concerning gender.

The MA explores the following:

• the contribution of feminist theory to a range of academic disciplines
• identity and the social construction of gender across different cultures and societies
• the structural and political aspects of gender
• gender as an embodied social relation and experience.
