Program Overview

Course overview

This 10-week course will introduce you to feminist and queer studies, and their relationship to the archive, spaces that hold different narratives and histories about how we once lived, informing us about the past, present, and future.

Very interesting and well-considered reading material and supportive discussions. Our tutor Chloe Turner was so wonderful and supportive, she created a really comfortable environment for us to learn in.

Join Chloe Turner, an experienced writer and researcher, and explore how racialised and gendered histories live on and how LGBTQ artists and activists use the archive in their cultural interventions.

Through an analysis of media examples, this unique live online course will provide you with a fascinating overview of, and accessible way into, feminist and queer studies. You will be encouraged throughout to develop new ways of thinking about gender and sexuality.

You will not only learn about feminist and queer studies, but also how to present your ideas, develop arguments, analyse media examples and how to conduct research through a feminist and queer framework. Towards the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to present and receive feedback on a topic of your choice based on the themes you have explored over the duration of the course.

This course is ideal for former or future students interested in arts, gender, media, and cultural studies, and are looking to develop or build further on their existing knowledge or interests.
