Gender, Sexuality and Creative Practice (Taught)

The MA Gender, Sexuality & Creative Practice introduces you to recent conceptual debates and creative practices drawing on interdisciplinary domains of feminist, queer, social and cultural conversations.

• Building on the internationally recognised and pioneering expertise of feminist staff in the School of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies, the programme offers you the opportunity to develop cutting-edge critical and creative skills in relation to cultural approaches to gender formation and sexualities.

• You’ll benefit from the Centre for Feminist Research, which has innovative events across the academic year. There is plenty of potential for students to take the lead in collectively shaping ecologies of learning through the Feminist Postgraduate Forum.

• As well as providing theoretical and analytical points of orientation, the programme aims to help you grasp the importance of epistemology and methodology for developing depth in your own empirical investigations of gender formations and sexualised subjectivities within a framework of transnational, intersectional and decolonial perspectives.

• The MA offers a hub for learning and connecting in critical, creative and conceptual ways.

• This programme introduces you to, and offers training in, the key socio-cultural methods for the study of gender and sexualities in the contemporary world, including methods for the study of visual culture; the body and affect; intersectionalities; ecologies; spatial practices and digital cultures.

• You’ll become part of a lively research environment in a politically active university.

• Media, Communications and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths has been ranked 2nd in the UK for 'world-leading or internationally excellent' research (Research Excellence Framework, 2021) and 16th in the world (3rd in the UK) in the 2024 QS World Rankings for communication and media studies.

• The theory and creative practice elements of the programme are brought together in a dissertation or final project, which involves tailored supervision in the application of creative research methods and conceptual depth.
