Master of Arts in Gender and Sexuality Studies

Dublin City University

The MA in Gender and Sexuality Studies is a cross-disciplinary postgraduate programme drawing on the latest research in the fields of literary and cultural studies communications law and government history and philosophy to equip students with the tools and methods to interrogate the complex interrelations between various forms of oppression and discrimination relating to genders and sexualities as well as opportunities for ownership and empowerment.ppAt a time which sees an unprecedented rise of populist and far-right mainstream parties and a shrinking of the realm of socio-sexual freedoms it has never been more important to provide a multidisciplinary academic space for scientific exchange.nbspppCommitment to diversity and intersectionality lies at the heart of the MA in Gender and Sexuality Studies and the programme is open to students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and with different life trajectories.ppWe offer a diverse range of modules taught by expert faculty at DCU on topics relating to various areas of gender and sexuality studies including Womens Masculinity and Queer Studies as well as Porn and Crip Studies. Students will develop multi-faceted and in-depth knowledge in these areas and also grow as researchers through a tailored research skills and methodology programme.nbspp
