课程特征 Course Features：
This programme interlocks with Bristol's world-leading research into the gendered character of world politics. It examines and deploys perspectives from feminism, gender studies, cultural studies, and sexuality studies, in conjunction with inter-disciplinary research in international political economy, civil-military relations, international development and the study of men and masculinities.
Core units will prepare you for a wide choice of options, and you will be included in the workshop programmes given by visiting researchers and associates. Students writing essays and dissertations are encouraged to bring the 'gender lens' to bear on contemporary issues in international development, security, conflict and militarisation. This unique programme was launched in 1998 with personal and continuing support from international feminist scholars, and it also has ongoing contact with leading researchers into masculinities and military sexualities.
The Department of Politics, Department of Sociology and Centre for East Asian Studies recently merged to create a new School within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law.
