The MA in Women's StudiesThe purpose of this MA is to offer students postgraduate training which will deepen their perspectives on Gender and Women's Studies and allow them to develop specialist interests. You will gain a thorough introduction to the intellectual traditions, concepts and political concerns which have shaped the evolution of Women's Studies through consideration of key debates and issues. You will also be introduced to, critically reflect upon and have the opportunity to practice, feminist research methods. Through this MA you will gain an understanding of the diversity of feminist perspectives and approaches to research, a thorough knowledge of key debates and authors and develop research methodology skills.

The MA in Feminist Cultural Theory and PracticeThe MA in Feminist Cultural Theory and Practice draws on largely the same modules as the MA in Gender and Women's Studies, but with a stronger emphasis on the role of cultural formations and a different core course. You are able to gain a knowledge of some of the wider debates in cultural studies that inform, and are informed by, feminist debates. Although the MA is meant to investigate the specific questions posed by feminism about culture, you will be invited to consider the relation between feminist work and cultural studies. The MA will allow you to investigate cultural practices from a range of different feminist perspectives, and will also ask the question of why 'culture' itself has become a privileged term in feminist research.
