Researchers found in the Directory range from our PhD and early career researchers to Professors. Within these profiles, you will find details of research interests, ongoing research projects, noteworthy gender and sexualities-related publications, and teaching activity. We hope these entries will enable researchers to connect with one another (across and beyond the institution), encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration.
Course entries on the Directory provide insight into the content taught in each course, the course’s credit level, and the year taken. Course entries provide a valuable resource to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, assisting in navigating gender and sexualities studies pathways through their University programmes.

French 1B |
The course examines a number of key issues relating to the Literature, Film and Politics of France since 1940. Based upon an integrated approach, the course examines the interaction among the three principal areas studied. Particular attention is paid to a number of common themes which recur in the literature, cinema and political discourse of the period. |
French theatre (1700s-1830s) and the making of revolutions: politics, love and fantasy... |
French theatre in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries arose as a major forum for the dissemination of philosophical and political debates that led up to the French Revolution, and later, following Napoleon's fall, to more political unrest during the Bourbon Restoration (1814-1830). It also gave birth to the drame bourgeois, and the drame romantique, both questioning and rejecting the 'old ways', be it at an aesthetic or ideological level, or both. |
From Girls in Uniform to Men in Drag: Gender, Sexuality and Ethnicity on the German Screen (Ordinary) |
This option will explore how gender, sexuality and ethnicity, central and often contested categories throughout German history, have been represented in German film from the Weimar period to the present day. |
Frontiers in Human Geography: Capital, Land & Power |
This course aims to grapple with many of the big themes in political and economic geography nationalism, globalisation, financialisation, neoliberalism, and so on but rather than deal with these in the abstract sense, or based on case studies far away, we will consider how they manifest in the spaces around us. The course considers the making of specific sites in the Scottish landscape and links this to a study of capitalism in its mutating forms. The focus ranges from the public housing estate to the forestry plantation, from the Clearance village to the set-pieces of commodity tourism. |
