Discover how gender shapes social movements and drives political change across the world. This module takes an intersectional and transnational approach, exploring how gender and sexuality interact with race, class, colonial histories, disability, and labour within diverse forms of activism. You’ll examine how movements emerge, organise, and create impact, while navigating tensions between resistance and compromise. Drawing on feminist, queer, postcolonial, and decolonial perspectives, you will engage with real-world case studies and develop the ability to use gender as a powerful analytical tool. Along the way, you’ll build skills in critical thinking, communication, research, and ethical judgement - essential for careers in advocacy, policy, research, and international organisations. If you’re interested in understanding activism, challenging inequality, and contributing to social change, this module will give you the insight and confidence to get involved.
