gender study
For the past ten years, the Centre has been home to innovative gender research, facilitating dialogue among an international community of distinguished gender researchers, as well as providing seminars and training programmes for graduate students right here in Cambridge. The Centre's two main functions are to act as a generator of cutting edge research and as a platform for teaching future generations.
"Gender" is not a synonym for "women". It is a concept that refers to the diverse understandings and experiences of both men and women, and how these impact on the structures of society. The Cambridge University Centre for Gender Studies is a world leading institution for the study of questions relating to gender in modern society.
