Taught M.Phil. in Gender and Women's Studies

Coordinator: Dr Catherine Lawless

The taught M.Phil. in Gender and Women's Studies can be studied full-time over one year, or part-time over two years. The programme examines the position and representation of gender in society, past and present. The course is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, drawing on research from across the Humanities and Social Sciences. Students will acquire a deep understanding of the cultural contexts in which theories of gender are produced, performed and negotiated. The programme hones analytical, written and verbal communication skills, providing a solid foundation for a range of careers.
