Body politics from feminist perspectives

About this programme

No fees are charged for EU and EEA citizens, Swedish residence permit holders and exchange students. Here you will examine how historical and contemporary discourses of sex, gender, class, dis/ability, race and anthropocentrism shape cultural conceptions of bodies and stratify living conditions; and how professions, fields of knowledge and conceptions of knowledge production itself are gendered in intersectional ways. Selection is based upon the number of credits from previous university studies, maximum 165 credits. The Faculty of Humanites premises are in the building Humanisten at Renströmsgatan 6. The facilities of the Department of Cultural Sciences are situated on the second floor of the building. Both Humanisten and the adjacent Humanities Library offer spacious study spaces and several group rooms.
