Gender Studies is designed to question, explore and analyse gender in the new millennium. Gender Studies is a dynamic area of academic study where diverse discussions, researches and creative possibilities occur. It provides opportunities to investigate and debate the changing meanings of bodies, femininities, masculinities and sexualities and the political and theoretical issues and debates around gender in a global context. Gender Studies has a multi-disciplinary focus and specialises in issues to do with the body, race and sexualities, families and work, the policies of difference, post-coloniality, post-modernism, popular culture, representation, identity, and the state.
Gender Studies is available as major of eight courses (36 units), a sub-major of 6 courses (27 units) and a minor of 4 courses (18 units). Courses may be taken as electives and options with appropriate prerequisites. Students completing the major must complete the two compulsory core courses. The major is recommended for those students wishing to undertake the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Gender Studies.
