Cursusdoel

  • Has explored a wide range of research approaches and methodologies, developing a critical perspective and ethical standards on research practices.

Vakinhoudelijk

This course is intended for students in the MA Gender Studies and GEMMA. Students from other MA programmes should consult the course coordinator before enrolling, as this is the only way to secure participation. The International Office and the Programme coordinator will verify the entrance requirements for Exchange Students, so you do not need to contact the Programme coordinator yourself.

This course emphasizes that, to become producers of knowledge rather than mere consumers, individuals must acquire the skills and methodologies necessary to conceptualize, conduct research, and compose texts. The objective is to enhance students' skills in key aspects of interdisciplinary feminist research through: (1) analyzing canonical texts within queer-trans-feminist, de/postcolonial, and critical race studies that exemplify diverse theoretical and empirical approaches; and (2) employing various research techniques, including theoretical, literary, and critical discourse analysis, as well as interviewing, and archival research. During the course, students will develop their critical-thinking skills and ethical standards; assemble a corpus of texts, research objects, or phenomena; and engage in meaningful research and academic writing. The aim isn’t to turn students into experts but to build familiarity and hands-on experience with diverse feminist research approaches and methods.
