Engaging with gender and sexuality concerns is now an integral aspect of research and planning activities in a wide range of fields. The need to address different forms of discrimination has created a demand in both public and private sectors for highly qualified graduates with a broad intellectual background in relevant fields, a familiarity with the intersectional nature of inequality and a commitment to social change.
