University of Sussex Feminist Studies

The University of Sussex offers Feminist Studies as an interdisciplinary field that examines gender issues, feminist theories, and the impact of gender on society. It encourages critical thinking about social norms, power dynamics, and the historical context of women’s rights. Students explore topics like inequality, representation, and intersectionality—how different identities (race, class, sexuality) overlap and influence experiences. This program aims to empower students with knowledge and analytical skills to understand and address gender-related challenges globally, fostering social justice and equality. It combines academic research with practical engagement in feminist movements and advocacy.
