Our innovative MA explores the complex relationships between gender, international development and global inequality. Challenging conventional western assumptions, we place perspectives from the Global South at the centre of debate and analysis. You will critically examine how gender shapes development policy and practice, and tackle questions of power, inequality and social justice. Join us to build the knowledge and research skills for a role in policy-making, policy-influencing, or for a foundation for further study.
