MA Gender, Intersectionality and Politics Info-Session on January 20th, 2021
Applications for the Master's program Gender, Intersectionality and Politics will be open again for the winter semester 2021/22. The program provides a solid knowledge of the structural, ideational and normative foundations of gender and diversity policy in various societal as well as institutional and political contexts. Theoretical and methodological competencies are deepened, especially with regard to the relationality and complexity of the category of gender in its interaction with other categories of difference. The course enables students to operationalize the category of gender for the intersectional analysis of political processes, interactions, structures and institutions in transnational contexts and to apply it in research practice.
Info-Session with the Gender & Diversity Division:
January 20th at 16:00
