Welcome to the Centre for Gender Studies

Gender is a key theme for Sussex research and many of our faculty are expert leaders in this field. We research and teach on gender issues in a variety of schools and departments which leads to fresh and innovative debates and to a diverse approach to teaching and learning. We also have a strong policy, community, and media presence via several high-profile research projects.

The centre functions in two key parts:

1. Research which problematises gender through race, disability, social class and religion from a theoretical perspective. We are committed to exploring the complexities around gender and intersectional approaches.

2. Activism on gender debates around contemporary issues.
