Centre for Gender Studies, Sussex

Description

Gender is a key theme for Sussex research and many of the members are expert leaders in this field. They 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. They also have a strong policy, community, and media presence via several high-profile research projects.

The centre functions in two key parts:

• research which problematises gender through race, disability, social class and religion from a theoretical perspective. Members are committed to exploring the complexities around gender and intersectional approaches.
• activism on gender debates around contemporary issues. The centre is challenging University Cultures on Equality and Diversity by holding a programme of events with staff.

Research in Gender Studies takes place over three interlinked streams: gender, law, crime, and violence; gender, identity and the body; and gender theory, politics and pedagogy. Researchers from across the university are networked via these strands to work on exciting collaborative projects.
