Summary

Question the concepts surrounding gender and international development with this global, cutting edge MA. Offered by Warwick's Sociology Department, you will be able to choose from a wide range of specialist modules, looking at how gender intersects with other differences, including sexuality, race and social class.

Course overview If you are interested in questioning the concepts of gender and development, and giving priority to issues and debates identified within specific countries – rather than relying on predominantly western literature – then this is the programme for you. It is an international, interdisciplinary and analytical course. It does not assume that development is about the ‘third world’ modelling itself on the west, nor about women modelling themselves on men.
