Bachelor of Arts (Gender Studies)

The Gender Studies major investigates what it means to be a woman/man/other gender identity in society at different times and places. You’ll look closely at the impact of gender, sex and sexuality on people’s lives at home, cross-culturally, at work, in public policy, in the media, on the streets and in the classroom. Explore your interests and hone your skills and knowledge through internships, practical application and expert teaching.

Formulate meaningful and practical solutions and policy responses to gender-related social problems. Develop a range of key skills and expertise on gender relevant to employment fields, including education, media and policymaking. Study gender alongside anthropology, cultural studies, English, history, human geography, law, media, philosophy or sociology.
