MA Women's Studies
This course is designed to challenge preconceptions, broaden understanding and encourage reflection on the wider ethical implications of feminist research, including power relations and your own positionality as a researcher.
The modules will allow you to interrogate key issues and concerns within women's studies, introducing you also to a diversity of qualitative methods that you can employ in your own research. You'll pay particular attention to the category 'women' and the concept 'gender', interpreted through an intersectional lens. You will also develop the practical, advanced research skills to undertake your own research project within the area, adopting a reflexive practice and a critical awareness of the politics of research.
The programme's interdisciplinary and cross-cultural scope is inclusive to all students, regardless of background, culture or existing knowledge and competencies. We foster a diverse and engaging learning experience for all.
