In this minor, student will explore the social and cultural underpinnings of gender, diversity and sexuality, and their representation. Starting from an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective, we discuss how masculinity, femininity, sexuality and ethnicity are being understood and the impact of the different ideas.

This minor teaches students to ask critical questions from an intersectional gender perspective. The minor allows for broad application in social areas, like education and research, media representation, and policy development.

We expect students to be able to read academic literature in English and to participate in English spoken lectures.
