Subject of the programme
The programme includes the main theoretical and methodological approaches to gender as developed in the context of gender studies internationally. It critically examines the main issues and concepts related to gender relations and gender equality in the field of public policies and social movements. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of gender in areas of social, economic, political and cultural life such as the educational system, the labour market, the political system, cultural practices, sexuality and migration.

Programme Aim
The aim of the programme is to equip students to understand the concepts, theories and academic debates on gender relations, while linking them to contemporary social practices and aspects of inequality between men and women.
In order to achieve this aim, the programme will adopt an interdisciplinary approach by offering modules by qualified scholars from different disciplines that will highlight interdisciplinary aspects of gender relations in contemporary societies. In this context, students will be given the opportunity to acquire knowledge and become familiar with feminist methodologies and interdisciplinarity, theories of gender identity and sexuality, as well as gender equality and anti-discrimination policies.
They will also be given the opportunity to delve into more specialised areas, studying topics such as gender in education, gender-based violence, work and care, gender in politics, migration and interculturalism, and gender in cultural theories and practices.
The programme covers a wide range of social issues and debates that have come to the fore in recent years in Greece and globally, due to the rise of feminist and LGBTQ issues and movements. In this context, the programme highlights the intersectional dimensions of gender inequalities by exploring the different approaches to inequalities between men and women and the ways in which gender intertwines with the social categories of race, nation, social class, and sexuality.
By combining theoretical analysis and the findings of contemporary research with teaching, the programme contributes to deepening the analysis and response to social issues that are increasingly at the forefront of public discourse and public policies.
