Master of Arts in Gender Studies and English

Program Overview

  • Discover how gender is portrayed in 21st century culture and society, and explore this alongside literary representations from earlier periods
  • Explore public discussions related to #metoo, diversity and inclusion, gendered and racial violence, representations of difference, and unequal power dynamics in culture, publishing, and literature
  • Interact with professors and visiting academics in our Centre for Gender Studies, a research community active in feminist and inequality debate
  • Study on campus in the University Library’s bespoke Postgraduate Study Space, or in the Castle Quarter within the University’s Postgraduate Study Hub at The Storey, the city’s Victorian-build arts venue.
  • Be inspired by our rich programme of literary events on campus, online, and in the city’s historic Castle Quarter, including our Master's Literary Studies Conference, usually held in the Castle itself.
  • Enjoy the benefits of our partnership with the archive-rich Wordsworth Grasmere, including internship opportunities

Gender, sex and bodily discrimination affects all areas of society. During this course you’ll explore these inequalities and their intersections with areas like race and disability. The expertise you develop in this degree will allow you to take a sophisticated approach to contemporary issues facing society.

You’ll also join our community at the Centre for Gender Studies. Some of the most highly respected names in feminist literature have been involved with this Centre including Sara Ahmed, Beverley Skeggs, Maureen McNeil, and Imogen Tyler.
