Gender and Diversity Studies

Welcome at the course guide of Gender & Diversity Studies

Gender and Diversity Studies aims to educate students in the workings of gender on a social, cultural and psychological level and learn them to use the gender perspective within their own disciplines. The tension between the structuring, repetitive, omnipresent aspects of gender and its wide variation and varying importance is a central concept. Apart from this the we focus on the implications the classifying principle has for the relations between women and men.

We offer different interesting courses on gender & diversity throughout the year. You can also follow the minor 'Cultural Sexuality Studies' or the international minor Gender & Culture. There are also several masters and masterspecialisations that focus on genderissues.
