Gender, Culture & Society

Why study Gender, Culture and Society at Dundee?

We offer students modules in specialist gender/women's studies, in theoretical approaches to the humanities and in research skills. This programme will provide you with an integrated introduction to comparative and interdisciplinary studies, and enable you to acquire a range of interdisciplinary intellectual and thinking skills.

Our teaching team is drawn from departments across the University, including History, English, Film, Philosophy, Fine Art and Archives.

This is one of over ten degree pathways offered in the Masters Programme in Humanities with Specialisation. Students on the Programme take some common modules, and are able to draw upon the research culture of the School of Humanities.

The School of Humanities at Dundee is a centre of research excellence. Postgraduate students join a vigorous research culture led by world-leading scholars.

The various disciplines within Humanities offer regular postgraduate forums, visiting speakers and postgraduate conferences.

"I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn more about the, often silenced and invisible, lives of women in our society. The multi-disciplinary approach (with contributions from lecturers with expertise in history, philosophy, literature and fine art) means that you begin to build up a rounded picture not just of women's lives in the past but how they were viewed, described and understood. The course challenges students to "read against the grain" and critically analyse the hegemonic discourse that has both seen women as 'other' and overlooked their lives."Nel, class of 2009-10

As well as being a research preparation degree for students who intend to proceed to a PhD, this course also caters directly for students who wish to take their first degree to a higher level of advanced study, for either career development or merely general interest.
