Masters of Sex: Feminisms, Sexuality and the Archive – 11 October

Are you interested in exploring the major themes and intersections within feminist and queer studies?

On this 10 week introductory course we will put feminism and queerness in conversation with the archive – a space in which we can understand the past, present and future in parallel. We’ll cover film, photography, television and archival material in order to address the body, gender politics and erotic desire through an intersectional lens. You will be encouraged throughout to develop new ways of thinking about gender and sexuality and learn how to present your ideas, develop arguments, analyse media examples as well as how to conduct research through a feminist and queer framework.
