Welcome to the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at the University of Leeds.
We are a large research community of over 170 academics from across the social sciences, medicine and healthcare, and arts and humanities disiciplines.
Since our inception eleven years ago, we have broadened our intellectual framework and built on our existing specialisms within gender relations. We now incorporate 'race', masculinities, sexualities, queer and trans- theories into our research work.
