Centre for Gender Studies
An interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to research into the concept of 'gender'
The Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Winchester was launched in June 2011, during Universities Week. Since then it has generated much interest from academics, research students and non-academic user groups alike. Its membership is drawn from across the University (see below).
As an interdisciplinary centre, it aims to encourage and develop diverse understanding concerning the social category of gender as well as its intersection with other social categories such as age, class, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion and sexuality. This diversity of understanding is evidenced in its annual research seminar series, open to the public, which hosts prominent figures in the field and showcases some of the most recent advances in gender studies.
The Centre seeks to foster links, both nationally and internationally, through encouraging collaborative projects. Likewise, we are interested in hearing from prospective research students. All enquiries may be directed to the Centre’s Convenor; for contact details, see the right-hand side column.
