Gender, Identity and Inclusion (918M9)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

The changing shape and role of the state and the rise of the corporate/private sector as an important player in development are important institutional changes in the contemporary social development arena, while development programmes and policies articulated through different sectors also impact on processes of social change and gender relations.

Different women and men respond to these changing institutional arrangements differently.

You examine these issues by focusing on selected sectors of development policy, such as education, the environment and social protection, and sexual health.

We consider how these areas may interact with questions of gendered identity, agency and wellbeing. 

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 2023/24. 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.
