Global Gender Studies

Global Gender Studies at Aalborg University will provide you with knowledge about and insight into the area of gender and global studies.

Woman at protest

<p>Global Gender Studies is a specialization that is offered to students at the master’s programme in Culture, Communication and Globalisation (CCG). </p>
<p>Global Gender Studies will provide you with knowledge about and insight into the area of gender and global studies and will include discussions of specific cases and case studies in which gender and struggles for equality and social justice can be understood from local, regional and global perspectives (including in the context of institutions such as the EU and the UN). Specific emphasis will be placed on the history of gender and equality policies within the fields of development and international relations, on possibilities and limitations of international law and human rights, and on analyses of gender and equality policies in various contexts and parts of the world.</p>
<p>You will also be introduced to gender perspectives on global governance and global democracy. Global governance signals a particular interest in the management of transnational issues by international organizations, other non-state actors and sovereign states with a particular focus on informal processes and activities of governing. Contemporary challenges to global governance include amongst others democratic problems of legitimacy, authority and accountability as well as trends towards increased nationalism, populism and de-democratization. Gender perspectives upon global governance will here be discussed from 'top-down', 'bottom-up' and transnational perspectives.</p>

<h2>Semester overview</h2>

<p>The full specialization is 55 ECTS. You obtain the full specialization by passing two specialization electives in your 1st and 2nd semester and choosing the topic from within the field of Global Gender Studies for your Project Oriented Course element-based project (alternatively, at least 15 ECTS of study activities in your mobility stay) in your 3rd semester. Furthermore, you must choose the topic for your thesis from within the specialization area in your 4th semester. To document this, you will be asked to fill out forms with your project formulation for your element-based project in your 3rd and with your project formulation for your thesis in your 4th semester.</p>
