Gender Studies postgraduate information
The School of Social and Environmental Enquiry offers a range of courses in Gender Studies designed to meet the needs of both established professionals and others seeking further studies in the area of gender relations.
Postgraduate courses in Gender Studies
Postgraduate courses in gender studies include:
The Gender Studies program centres on an interdisciplinary study of recent developments in feminist theory and on feminist critiques of existing disciplines, with an emphasis on a critical feminist engagement with Eurocentrism in gender studies. We have a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
Our courses can enhance qualifications in the humanities, the social sciences and other disciplinary areas. Graduates from the Gender Studies program are now employed in such areas as education, social policy, equal opportunity, in non-governmental organizations and as consultants. The MA Gender Studies (Gender and Development) - to be Master of Development Studies (Gender and Development) from 2008 - is specifically for those who seek employment in gender and development policy and planning.
Australian students should refer to the Postgraduate Handbook index for application forms for Graduate Certificate, Diploma, Postgraduate Diploma, and MA programs.
Prospective PhD students should contact the Gender Studies Co-ordinator for information about available supervision and approval of the proposed research project. Application forms are available from the School of Graduate Studies.
