Summary

This research-led MSc teaching programme in Gender (Rights and Human Rights) aims to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the epistemological, conceptual, and empirical contexts in which gender and human rights operate and circulate around the globe.

It will foster an independent and critical approach to the scholarly study of the entangled politics, histories and practices of gender and human rights. It will introduce students to a range of critical thinking, especially, anticolonial, decolonial, postcolonial and interventions from radical democratic theories with a view to engage students in questions of decolonisation, human rights and transnational gender politics. It will enable students to develop an intersectional, transnational but also an interdisciplinary gender lens to study rights and global human rights.

Finally, the programme will introduce and equip students to study and explore in a serious and committed way the intellectual resources, strategies and epistemologies required for shifting the epistemic centre of the knowledge production on global human rights, so that the 'most of the world' comes to matter epistemically to the politics, practice and scholarship on global human rights.
