Gender and identity continue to grow in importance as political issues. Understanding how this has come to be, and how politics addresses gendered issues, is vital.
Throughout this course, which is one of only a few in the UK that focuses on a combination of gender and politics, you’ll critically analyse gender as a political topic.
By exploring identity in the context of national and international politics, you’ll put yourself in a strong position for a policymaking career.
Through examining how gender and identity intersect with politics, policymaking, international relations and political theory, you’ll enhance your understanding of some of the most pressing challenges faced in society across the globe.
Other topics you’ll cover include:
the politics of gender equality
the part gender can play in the peace and reconciliation of countries
gender in political representation
the steps needed to make electoral organisations more gender equal
gender in transitional justice
