📣Applications are now welcome for the MA IN GENDER STUDIES at University College Dublin, starting in September 2026.
⬇️LINK IN THE COMMENTS⬇️

WHY STUDY WITH US? The master's programme will give you knowledge and skills in critical thinking and analysis, as well as an applied understanding of broad areas of gender theory, intersectional feminisms, and global gender policy and debates relevant to our increasingly globalised societies.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? The MA includes modules that cover feminist theories, histories and activisms, q***r theory and sexualities, masculinities, gendered violence and bodily politics, migration studies, critical health studies, LGBTQ+ studies, and post-colonial feminist analysis through a lens that engages with critical debates on inequalities and intersections of gender, race, social class, ethnicity, dis/ability and broader ideas of gender identities and representations.

You will deepen your understanding of contemporary debates and concepts related to gender in a globalised world, and be equipped with the knowledge, language, and skills to identify, challenge, and debate rigid concepts of gender and systems of power that control cultural and material resources and restrict rights and representation.

WHO ARE WE? You will engage uniquely with faculty from a range of interdisciplinary backgrounds and expertise, including anthropology, history, literary studies, law, politics, and sociology, with significant global practitioner experience in the programme's areas of study.

Important! You can take this course on a one-year full-time or two-year part-time basis. ⬇️LINK IN THE COMMENTS⬇️
