The M.Phil. in Gender and Women's Studies at Trinity College Dublin offers you a rigorous, interdisciplinary exploration of contemporary scholarship on women, gender, and sexuality. This postgraduate degree is ideal for students keen to understand the historical and cultural production, performance, and negotiation of gender and sexuality through the lenses of Classics, History, and History of Art and Architecture. You will develop a deep understanding of how social, political, and economic factors intersect with categories like race, class, and disability, equipping you with sophisticated analytical and methodological skills for nuanced research.
This M.Phil. is studied full-time on campus over 12 months, beginning in September. Your learning will encompass core modules in Gender Theories and Methods to Gender Research, complemented by a wide range of elective modules that allow you to tailor your studies to your specific interests, such as Medieval Sexualities or the Lived Experiences of Women. The culmination of your degree will be a substantial 15,000-word dissertation under expert supervision. You will graduate with highly valued research, analytical, and communication skills, prepared for careers in education, public service, research, or further doctoral study.
