Graduate Center
The Institute for Gender and Women's Studies offers an interdisciplinary two-year Master of Arts. Eight courses (24 credit hours) are required for the MA. The MA is divided into three areas of specialization:
Specialization 1: Gendered Political Economies
The specialization in gendered political economies engages with shifts in the gendering of economic and political trajectories of late modernity. It deals with issues relating to poverty, labor politics, political economies of desire, migration, mobility and development histories and practices. The aim is to provide students with a solid grounding in the nexus between gender and modalities for reorganizing the political economic order in the contemporary world.
Specialization 2: Geographies of Gender and Justice
The geographies of gender and justice specialization offers advanced study of contemporary practices and problems of justice, ranging from international justice regimes to national legal cultures to social and economic justice claims, with a particular focus on the global south.
Specialization 3: Gender and Women's Studies in the Middle East/ North Africa
The gender and women's studies in the Middle East, North Africa focus offers an interdisciplinary field of analysis that draws its questions and approaches from the social sciences and humanities through investigating how relations of gender are embedded in social, political and cultural formations. It provides students with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective with special emphasis on situating the the Middle East and North African region in a comparative global south perspective.
The diploma is intended for students pursuing an interdisciplinary MA at AUC, who at the same time seek to acquire gender studies qualifications. Six courses (18 credit hours) are required for the diploma: GWST 500 and GWST 505 and four GWST elective courses. The diploma does not offer specializations.
For additional questions related to AUC graduate admission requirements, tuition and University scholarships, go to graduate admissions.
The graduate center also supports
Surfacing, an international, online, yearly graduate student journal launched in September 2007.
