Gender and Intersectional Analysis
The Gender and Intersectional Analysis field examines gender and other key factors that influence and intersect with gender, including ethnicity, race, age, religion, class or caste, religion, sexual orientation, disability and urban/rural differences. The field uses micro-, meso-and macro-level gender and intersectional theory and analyses to illuminate and engage directly with systems and institutions of political, military, social, economic, legal and cultural power. We use these perspectives to examine gender and intersectional roles and relations as forms of power to organize authority, institutions, rights, responsibilities, access to resources and life options.
The Gender and Intersectional Analysis field is interdisciplinary in its formation, scholarly focus and practice. Completion of the field will enable students to carry out theoretically grounded, gender and intersectional-informed research, analysis and design within their professional careers. To complete the field, a student may select from a variety of courses offerings that will enable students to develop critical and comparative approaches to illuminate the gendered and intersectional dimensions of a range of key issues within: Armed Conflict and War; Natural Disaster; Forced Migration; National and International Security; Human Security; Humanitarian Action; Peace Operations; Peace Building; International Law; Transformative Transitional Justice; Development Economics; Non-violent Resistance; Demography; Leadership; and Network Analysis.
The Gender and Intersectional Analysis Field of Study sits within the larger Gender and Intersectional Analysis and the Inclusive Leadership Program. See our website for more information: https://sites.tufts.edu/gender/
