Flinders’ Master of Arts (Women’s &amp; Gender Studies) will help you develop the skills and knowledge to think critically on issues of gender and its intersections with sexuality, class, embodiment and racial differences. These are essential in all professions and workplaces that engage with social justice, human rights, creativity and gender equality.Offered both in-person and online, this Master of Arts explores critical analyses of gender in a time when it is more important than ever to question taken-for-granted assumptions to build a more hopeful and just future.The course explores the concept of gender, different types of feminism and feminist activism, feminist philosophy, gender mainstreaming, disability, media representation, Indigenous knowledges, sexualities and LGBTIQA+ issues, all understood through intersectional approaches, to help us understand who we are, and how we can better advocate for personal, local, national and global justice and transformation.

Learn how to think critically about gender and feminism, so you can champion the marginalised. Express your ideas in a thesis. Graduates of this course use their advocacy skills in all sorts of careers, like politics, journalism, health and teaching.

This subject was previously known as Digital Culture and Everyday Life.For many people, everyday life now involves constant interaction with the Internet via digitally networked platforms and devices. As cyberspace and real space come together, it can be easy to miss the impacts of the Internet on us and on our society and culture. Students will explore how their own experiences and ‘everyday Internet’ may be different from others, and the implications of this for studying digital culture. Through specific topics such as entertainment, politics, sex, and relationships students will analyse digital culture conceptually, towards better understanding how technology and society are intertwined.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject, you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’. It only takes two hours to complete online and provides you with vital information about studying with Curtin University. The Academic Integrity Program is compulsory, so if it’s not completed your subject grades will be withheld.Find out more about the <a href="https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/" target="_blank">Academic Integrity module</a>.
