Feminist Approaches to Global Development (001ID7)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

Can global development create a just world? This module explores global injustice through feminist perspectives and theories.

You’ll critically examine mainstream development approaches to gender justice, using real-world events and personal experiences alongside decolonial, queer, and intersectional feminist ideas. Together, we’ll discuss and debate how power and privilege shape development work at personal, local, and global levels.

The module focuses on building a shared toolkit to rethink solidarity and accountability, learning from acts of resistance—both everyday and organized. We’ll work on ways to transform development frameworks in our communities and beyond.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 267 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
