MA
Summary
Our cutting edge MA in Gender and International Development offers you the opportunity of critically investigating the intersection of gender, international development and geopolitical inequalities. It provides insights into the challenges facing gender equality and social justice on a local and global scale, as well as a stepping stone to a career in policy-making or academia.
Course overview If you are interested in questioning the concepts of gender and development and giving priority to issues and debates identified within countries of the Global South – 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 that gender is a fixed category determined by sex, or that men constitute the ideal development subject.
Skills from this degree - Ability to analyse and evaluate development policy
-
Ability to analyse and evaluate development practices
-
Ability to analyse gendered effects of development policy and practice
-
Ability to carry out independent research
-
Ability to understand and assess claims to knowledge made by a range of relevant disciplines
-
Ability to write about complex ideas in a clear way
