The Master’s Concentration
in Gender Studies at HGSE is designed for students interested in exploring
the relationship between gender, psychosocial
development, education, and culture. Gender Studies is housed within the area
of Human Development and Psychology (HDP), which has long been committed to
understanding how culture, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, and
socioeconomic class influence human development and education. Through the
concentration, students will examine the conceptual and methodological issues
that arise when gender is a voiced rather than a tacit element of research
and practice.
Students with interests in psychological research may seek a knowledge base
in gender as preparation for doctoral admission, coursework, and research.
Students with interests in educational practice, policy, and social inequality
may draw on the concentration to gain a gendered perspective on their teaching,
administration, and analyses. Additionally, students with backgrounds in clinical
practice or intervention may focus on gaining knowledge and critical perspectives
on gender in order to inform their post-graduate work.
