Master’s: Gender Studies

Abstract

The Master’s programme in Gender Studies aims to build a common foundation of general knowledge on the notion of gender through its classes on history, sociology, anthropology, geography, philosophy, political sciences, literature, media cultures and cultural action. This sophisticated, multidisciplinary programme of study stems directly from international research on gender studies, particularly anglophone literature, and calls upon university lecturer-researchers from the set of Bordeaux universities who are specialists in the field of gender studies. External participants are invited as chairs or as part of exchange programmes with research laboratories working on excellence initiatives. The Master’s in Gender Studies is carried out over two years. It is composed of a common core curriculum entitled ‘Gender Studies’ (which encompasses the humanities and social sciences, in relation to current events in French and international research) and a choice between two further subject pathways. * The research pathway in ‘Mediation, Culture and Languages’ is founded on teaching in French and foreign literatures, philosophy, the media, the arts, history and geography. * The pathway in ‘Regions, Public Action and Development’ is available only as a work/study continued-development programme, aimed at professionals in the fields of gender equality and the fight against gender discrimination.
