Welcome to the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at the University of Leeds.
We are an interdisciplinary research and postgraduate community incorporating over 100 academics from across the social sciences, medicine and healthcare, and arts and humanities disciplines.
Since our inception in 1997, 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 which has a core focus on the body. Research in the Centre has an international focus and we recruit students from all over the world. Our research was graded the second highest in the country in terms of 'world-leading' research (4*) in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
