About International Relations (Gender), Postgraduate Diploma - at University of Birmingham

This programme interrogates gender in global politics and global governance. The emphasis throughout is critical reflection on the relationship between theory and practice.

The course also covers academic discourse on non-governmental organisations, transnational activist networks and social movements, in relation to the practices, politics, political strategies and advocacy work of a broad range of civil society actors.

Issues examined include: Norms, institutions and mechanisms of governance, Gender as discourse / ideology, Gender as a category in policy-making, Gendered subjectivities in global politics and governance, Social reproduction, production, consumption and economic development, Security, conflict, conflict resolution and peacekeeping and Human rights.
