- Think critically about social and cultural norms and stereotypes.
- Explore how categories of social difference emerge and change.
- Examine questions of gender injustice and the challenge of achieving equality of opportunity in social, political and professional contexts.
- Look at how social movements have transformed society, power relations, public policy, laws and attitudes.
- Receive an introduction to the theories and methods that shape fields such as Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Transgender Studies, Disability Studies, Migration Studies as well as research on diversity, racism and intersectionality.
- Develop an understanding of the role of gender and other forms of difference in the world today in a way that will be of use in a range of professions or in your future studies at the master’s degree or PhD level.
