This is a highly interdisciplinary and comparative Master's programme in the fields of gender, culture and politics. The emphasis is on comparative insights (at both national and international levels) into the functioning of gender and ethnicity. Special attention will be paid to the political and policy aspects of cultural developments. Following this programme, you will acquire knowledge about the methodologies and theory of Women's and Gender Studies. This knowledge enables you to critically assess research findings in this field. You will also study the interaction between gender and ethnicity. What measures have been taken, in the past and the present, to prevent discrimination in these areas? And what roles have been played by international organisations and institutions, both commercial and not-for-profit? You will also learn to use new media and ICT skills to present your knowledge to experts and non-experts. Graduates of this programme will have a good knowledge of the national and international infrastructure of institutions in the fields of ethnicity and gender. They will then be able to apply this knowledge to good effect in a professional context.
