As well as my research and teaching responsibilities, I convene the MA in Gender Studies at Sussex. This programme introduces students to core concepts and research methods in Gender Studies, and combines taught modules with academic research carried out under faculty supervision.
The MA has two core courses, both taught in the Autumn term: The Politics of Gender aims to give students a grounding in feminist theoretical and methodological perspectives, and Gender and Representation addresses the gendered nature of both mainstream and minority discourses and representations in history and culture.
In the Spring, students also take two options from the following: Women and Human Rights; Race Critical Theory; Constitutionalism and Difference: Gender and Sexuality; The Anthropology of Childbirth and Reproductive Health; Embodiment and Institutionalisation of Violence, Conflict and Conciliation; Feminism and Film; Queering Popular Culture; and The Cinematic Body.
In the summer term, students work on a 20,000-word dissertation on a topic of their own choice, closely supervised by an expert faculty member.
