This course is available on the MSc in Gender, MSc in Gender (Research), MSc in Gender, Development and Globalisation, MSc in Gender, Media and Culture, MSc in Gender, Policy and Inequalities, MSc in Human Rights and MSc in Media and Communications. This course is available as an outside option to students on other programmes where regulations permit.

'Sexuality, Gender and Culture', introduces students to historical and theoretical components of the field, and explores case studies of the development of sexual cultures, identities and social movements from the late 19th century to the present. The course provides theoretical foundations in this area through a case-study based approach. Indicative topics include: prostitution/sex work; internet and sexuality; queer theory and social movements; intersectional approaches to sexuality (through colonial and postcolonial theory). The course is interdisciplinary and demands a high level of student participation, but does not require a background in the field. It is also available as a full unit 'Sexuality, Gender and Globalisation' for which this is the first half.

10 hours of lectures and 20 hours of classes in the MT.

One 2000 word critical analysis to be submitted at the beginning of week 6; presentation of key readings with a partner in at least one seminar (with feedback).
