Description	In this module you will engage critically with conceptual frameworks that enable us to analyse the social construction of gender and sexuality. You will apply these approaches across a range of substantive areas of study in order to develop the ability to think critically about how gender and sexuality structure everyday life. By evaluating case studies you will develop an appreciation of how social norms, power relations, material inequalities and forms of knowledge shape and reproduce the social relationships of gender and sexuality. The module endorses an intersectional perspective which requires us to understand how complex structural issues constitute gender and sexuality.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module the student should be able to: Critically evaluate the main theories of gender and sexuality; Demonstrate a broad understanding and explain the relationship between the gender and sexuality; Research a specific topic, undertake an in-depth analysis and write this up in a scholarly fashion
