KANITA
offers postgraduate studies programmes for those interested in
pursuing women’s or gender studies by research. Upon completion
of the studies, students are awarded with Master of Social
Sciences (Gender Studies) or Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
Programmes are designed to produce graduates who are
gender-sensitive in various work cultures and organisations,
equipping those from various basic disciplines with knowledge
and analytical skills of looking at the social world through a
more comprehensive and inclusive manner. |
|
The
postgraduate programmes at KANITA aim at developing and
enhancing candidates’ analytical and practical skills in their
chosen disciplines through the use of the gender lense. This
lense operates through the idea that gender matters to
structures, theories and practices in any discipline that the
lived realities of sections of society, particularly women, are
highly pertinent subject of deep inquiry. |
