Overview
The Master's program in Gender Studies applies intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives to gender as one of the basic principles organizing human society and culture. Gender studies focus on the analysis of historical as well as contemporary manifestations of the gender order, the influence of feminist/queer theories and methods in science and research, and other aspects of the gender order; they also probe the relationship between gender and other categories of social differentiation and stratification such as race/ethnicity, social status, age, sexuality, and/or disability.
One of the specific strengths and internationally recognized expertise of the gender studies program at Charles University is the emphasis put on the analysis of post-socialist experiences and reflections of gender structuring of the late-socialist Czechoslovak society, and Central/East European societies in general.
The MA program in Gender Studies at the Faculty of Humanities is open to university students from all over the world. One of the program's benefits is a diverse environment that encourages critical and multiperspective thinking. Our Faculty is a non-discriminatory and fair institution and applicants of all nationalities, ethnicities, cultural, social backgrounds, ages, and genders are welcome.
