Gender and Sexuality (track)

Vergelijk

Gender and sexuality are all around us: from the organisation of sexual desire and kinship to the labour market and political representation, from mobilisations for equal rights to campaigns against sexual harassment, from questions of identity (politics) to new understandings of how lives and bodies are shaped by gender and sexuality. This interdisciplinary track allows you to further explore these issues within your own discipline of Political Science or Sociology. You receive your Master's degree in either Political Science or Sociology.
