Major: Gender Studies
Gender studies is an exciting interdisciplinary field of inquiry that’s informed by the belief that all social processes and institutions are ‘gendered’.

Studies in this area bring innovative theory and research techniques to understanding the ways in which our bodies are sexed, gendered and sexually oriented, how these relate to contemporary and global debates on gender inequality, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the plurality of sexualities.


What will you study?
Gender studies covers a broad field of global topics, including:

  • Gender theory
  • Contemporary feminism
  • Sexuality and society
  • Criminal justice responses to gender violence
  • Men and masculinity.
