Gender Studies Postgraduate Research - PhDs and Studentships at University of East Anglia UEA

Across these areas we explore in our research and teaching how gender plays a part in cultures of inequality; how girls position themselves and are positioned by a media culture for which they are simultaneously a sign of anxiety and optimism; how women’s historical struggles around suffrage frame contemporary experience; how austerity and recession culture have reinstated gender hierarchies; how women’s fiction opens up and challenges cultural assumptions; how hierarchies of gender and race are complexly intertwined; how women’s intellectual contributions can be understood as central to a history of ideas; how analysing men and masculinity is a vital component of gender studies; and how queer and transgender activism has transformed the field of gender and cultural theory. 

Applicants will need to apply through the particular school that their research will be based in. Please note that not all start dates are available for every school.
