What will I learn?

Gender studies at UNSW is a vibrant, cross-disciplinary area of study that situates women, feminism, gender, sex and sexualities at the centre of academic analysis. You’ll analyse gender as part of a wider context of social relations in which gender intersects with other categories of difference, including race, ethnicity, class and disability, and examine crucial societal issues playing out across multiple areas of life in politics, religion, corporate strategy, social policy and justice. Gender studies brings together some of the most popular subjects offered across UNSW Arts, Design & Architecture. You’ll have the opportunity to study world history, human rights, sex and desire, women’s writing, Asian cultures, and queer and gender theory, as part of a constantly evolving gender studies subject area. You’ll explore subjects such as gendered worlds, history of sexuality, sex, human rights and justice, race and gender, and global feminisms, helping you understand your interaction with the world around you.
