Summary
**Why Lancaster?**
Discover how gender is portrayed in the 21st century, and compare this with literature from across the ages
Explore implications and public discussions related to #metoo, diversity and inclusion, gendered and racial violence, representations of difference, and unequal power dynamics in culture, publishing, and literature
Interact with professors and visiting academics in our Centre for Gender Studies, a research community in the UK that is active in feminist and inequality debate
Discuss and debate texts with our widely published scholars – thought leaders and respected voices in literary criticism and gender studies.
Debate contemporary social issues supported by experts who are leaders in gender and inequality research
Prepare for a future fighting social inequality through engaging with feminist activists and literary academics in seminars and workshops
Want to deepen your understanding of gender inequalities alongside studies in English literature? Maybe you’ll develop your voice to challenge social injustices or help shape the way organisations and governments operate.
**Understanding inequality**
Gender, sex and bodily discrimination affects all areas of society. During this course you’ll explore these inequalities and their intersections with areas like race and disability. The expertise you develop in this degree will allow you to take a sophisticated approach to contemporary issues facing society.
You’ll also join our community at the Centre for Gender Studies. Some of the most highly respected names in feminist literature have been involved with this Centre including Sara Ahmed, Beverley Skeggs, Maureen McNeil, and Imogen Tyler.
**Examine issues of gender and inequality in literature**
Alongside gender studies, you’ll also explore both modern and historical literature, examining voices in inequality across the ages. Our department has a particular strength in modern literature, and we’ll encourage an understanding of current changes in how gender is portrayed in literature. However, the course is wide-ranging and, from post-colonial women’s writing, to the works of the Romantics, you’ll analyse a range of literary forms such as poetry, novels, essays, autobiography and travelogues.
Level | RQF Level 7 |
