Why Lancaster?
Deepen your understanding of gender inequalities alongside studies in English Literature, and develop your voice to challenge social injustices or help shape the way organisations and governments operate.
Understanding inequality
Gender, sex and bodily discrimination affects all areas of society. During this course you’ll explore these inequalities and their intersections with areas like race and disability. The expertise you develop in this degree will allow you to take a sophisticated approach to contemporary issues facing society.
You’ll also join our community at the Centre for Gender Studies. Some of the most highly respected names in feminist literature have been involved with this Centre including Sara Ahmed, Beverley Skeggs, Maureen McNeil, and Imogen Tyler.
Examine issues of gender and inequality in literature
Alongside your work in Gender Studies, you can select from a range of modules housed within the Department of English Literature & Creative Writing. The Department has strengths in all periods and genres of literature, and engages extensively with how questions of gender are explored within literary texts.
Supportive community
You will typically be taught in weekly small-group seminars, and have regular one-to-one tutorials with a supervisor when working on your Dissertation, a long-form project exploring a topic of your own choosing.
We also encourage you to meet in person with all your tutors to discuss your work. You will have an academic advisor with whom you meet to review your progress.
