Location of Lancaster University
The Centre for Gender and Women's Studies offers a range of single and combined MA programmes which can be taken full-time over one year or part-time over two years. All these MAs address key contemporary concerns along with a thorough introduction to and exploration of feminist intellectual traditions. You will learn about debates within Gender and Women's Studies and how to pursue your own concerns. You will develop skills in relevant research methods as well as knowledge of intellectual concepts.
The MA in Gender and Women's Studies programme is cross-disciplinary. The programmes are taught by academics from several departments who are strongly committed to Gender and Women's Studies and are actively engaged in exciting research which integrates concerns about gender, power and difference with work in Cultural Studies, English, Environmental Policy, Health Studies, History, Management, Politics, Religious Studies, Science Studies, Sociology and Theatre Studies. Whichever programme you choose you will gain an understanding of the diversity of feminist perspectives and be able to develop intellectually informed and methodologically skilled ways to identify, define and research your own interests.
Contents
We hope students on all the MA courses draw on each others experience and ideas and that the programmes complement each other, as well as having their distinctive concerns. The MA Convenor is the advisor for and organises events for all MA students within the Centre.
There is some funding available through competitive awards for both MA and reserach degrees.
