Dear all, I wanted to let you know that at Newcastle University we have just launched a new suite of interdisciplinary Gender Master’s programmes. These are: 

• Gender and Sociology

• Gender and Global Sustainable Challenges

• Gender and Public Policy

• Gender and International Relations

Students will do half their credits in Gender and half in their other subject, and the dissertation will combine the two under expert supervision. 

The modules look at key contemporary issues such as conflict and violence, poverty and inequality, reproductive justice, the environment, migration, identity and belonging. Students will engage with cutting edge scholarship and feminist, queer, and trans theory, and learn how to put theory into practice. The programmes are taught by experts who take an intersectional, decolonial, trans- and sex-worker inclusive, engaged, and community-based approach. By the end of their programme, students will be independent researchers equipped for a variety of different careers and – more importantly – with the knowledge and skills to make a difference in the world. The programmes are taught in person.

More information and online application links can be found at our website at https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/degrees/4191f/. There is information about scholarships and funding at https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees-funding/. 

Please share this information widely with your networks and encourage people to apply – this is a very difficult time to get a new degree off the ground but we need Gender Studies more than ever. 

Thanks, Alison
