Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies Trinity College Dublin

Overview

Is This Course For Me?

This course is aimed at students interested in historically and theoretically nuanced approaches to studying women, gender and sexuality that are offered through the three disciplines in the School of Histories and Humanities: Classics, History and History of Art and Architecture. By emphasizing a rigorous multidisciplinary perspective in our teaching and research, our faculty offer students a range of analytical and methodological skills to think historically and contextually about gender and sexuality. Through our modules, students will consider the social, political, and economic aspects of gender and sexuality and have opportunities to analyse the ways in which these modalities relate to other categories such as race, ethnicity, nationality, class, age and disability.
