Gender and Sexuality Studies - 2024/25 - 51112

The course explores how gender and sexuality are defined, perceived, and negotiated and how categories of gender and sexuality inform and shape our understanding of the world.

We will also explore the origins and forms of women's oppression, and the meanings and social implications of patriarchy and gender-based violence. We will also look at how gender and sexuality intersect with other categories such as race, class and ethnicity through a decolonial lens, and examine how discourses of gender and sexuality are linked to power and inequality applying an intersectional perspective. Finally, we will explore studies and approaches to gender and sexuality in the field of social work.
