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.

|
Human Rights and Conflict Resolution |
This course will examine the role of human rights in intra-state conflict and in peace processes. In particular it will examine how peace processes and agreements deal with power-sharing arrangements, transitional justice mechanisms, gender equality, and return of refugees. The course will examine the moral, political and practical dilemmas in dealing with these issues, and consider the extent to which human rights law provides useful guidance and requirements, or hinders conflict resolution efforts. |
Identity and Self in Contemporary German Literature |
This option introduces students to literary renegotiations of questions of identity and self in contemporary German-language novels. Students will closely study two selected novels over four weeks respectively. Each novel will be accompanied by critical reading which will help students engage with and also reflect more widely on notions of gender, sexuality, race, class, the body, belonging, and postmigration that are at the core of the selected novels in an informed and critical way. Credit level: 10 Year taken: Year 4 Undergraduate SCQF credits: 20 |
Indigenous Futures: Knowledge, Ecology and Politics |
The course will examine the way these issues are shaped in conversation with the global flow of people, capital, and ideas. Where possible, the course will also invite (via video feed) academic experts, advocates for indigenous peoples' rights, and indigenous voices from a range of positions, to answer student's queries about pertinent political and social issues. These engagements will help inform, question, challenge, educate, and engage students in their own course work. Student Learning Experience Information |

International Relations Theory |
The discipline of international relations is a relatively young academic subject, only emerging as a distinct field within political science in the aftermath of World War I. To differentiate itself from the disciplines of international law and history, its intellectual predecessors, international relations has developed a number of theories of the nature of the international and its constituent parts, which seek to explain, understand, judge and even predict international behaviour. |
