About the course

Investigate the gendered aspects of violence and conflict.

Violence and conflict are always gendered processes. Shining a critical light on gender helps us to understand violence and conflict better.

This MA is ideal for students looking to broaden their theoretical perspective on the area of women, violence and conflict through applying feminist theoretical approaches and a gendered lens. Attentive to intersecting categories, you'll form an awareness of how violence and conflict affect gendered lives differently in local and global contexts.
