University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies

Welcome

The University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies is a wholly multidiscipinary centre within the University. Spanning a number of critical topics across the disciplines, from social theory to biomedical advances, the aim of the Centre is to increase our capacity for rigorous gender analysis and to promote awareness of its relevance in historic, economic, political, social and scientific contexts. The Centre provides a research MPhil in Multi-disciplinary Gender Studies, is a locus for international gender research and runs a series of academic events, including a multi-disciplinary Gender Research Seminar, Symposia and a number of Public Lectures - together these events make up our Public Event Series, which is kindly supported by Cambridge University Press.
