Course Description

Develop your knowledge of the intersection between gender and politics. You’ll explore the challenges of gender and identity representation across the globe.

Gender and identity continue to grow in importance as political issues. Because of this, we’re living in a time where a full understanding of how these fascinating topics combine and intersect is vital.

Throughout this course, which is one of only a few in the UK that focuses on a combination of gender and politics, you’ll critically analyse the crossover between these subjects.

By exploring identity in the context of national and international politics, you’ll put yourself in a strong position for a policymaking career.

You’ll gain insights into contemporary issues related to gender across the planet. Through examining how gender and identity intersect with politics, policymaking, international relations and political theory, you’ll enhance your understanding of some of the most pressing challenges faced in society.
