Gender, Identity and Inclusion (918M9)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

On this module, you will engage with issues and debates around gender, identity and inclusion in development. You'll take an applied, policy-focused approach to the study of gender and intersectionality.

You'll compare how different approaches to intersectionality have been used across a range of key issues and debates in development. The module examines these issues by focusing on selected sectors of development policy, including:

• education
• digitisation migration
• conflict
• care work
• sexual health
• disability
• sexuality.

You'll consider how these areas interact with questions of gendered and other identities, agency, and well-being.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 44 hours of contact time and about 256 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
