Location of The University of Edinburgh
Gender history has proved in recent years to be one of the most exciting and innovative areas of research, drawing as it does on the disciplines of social/political history, social and cultural anthropology, and literature. It is now recognized that an awareness of gender practices and discourses is integral to an understanding of political, economic, social and cultural changes and transformations.
This MSc explores aspects of gender history from the classical and early medieval period to the contemporary era, focusing not only on Britain and Europe but also other areas of the non-western world such as East Asia. It draws upon the expertise of several members of the History subject area who have research interests, teaching experience and experience of postgraduate supervision in this area.
The programme enables its participants to:
* understand key historiographical issues and debates in gender history;
* analyse, assimilate and deploy critically primary historical sources and relevant secondary literature in gender history;
* develop skills in oral presentation and participation in group discussions;
* define a topic in gender history and undertake independent research of source material;
* write up the research findings in a coherent and structured way.
Contents
The course will be taught through a combination of small-group seminars, one-to-one supervision and independent research. Students will take three compulsory courses (two training courses common to all MSc students and a core course), in addition to a selection of module courses on gender history. The course is examined through coursework (essays) and a dissertation, the subject of which will be chosen by the student.
