Overview
The Gender and Sexuality Studies from Dublin City University is a cross-disciplinary postgraduate programme drawing on the latest research in the fields of literary and cultural studies, communications, politics, law, history, and philosophy. The programme interrogates both the complex interrelations between discrimination and oppression in the context of gender and sexuality and opportunities for ownership and empowerment.
Commitment to diversity and intersectionality lies at the heart of this programme; it is open to applicants from a range of academic disciplines and personal backgrounds. In keeping with this ethos, the programme provides a multi-disciplinary space for academic dialogue that centres on marginalised voices and non-hegemonic perspectives.
