The Department of Gender Studies is built on three pillars: teaching, research and activism. Its theoretical positions include: feminisms, masculinities, queer studies, and postcolonialism; and gender is viewed through these lenses. At its core, intersectionality is paramount and this is played out through engagement across all gendered spaces.
