reviewing traditional academic disciplines, through a multidisciplinary
approach;
to develop analytical and critical skills across a range of disciplines
to understand gender as a significant dimension in contemporary issues;
to synthesise feminist and malestream theoretical frameworks to produce a
coherent explanation of gender relations;
to engage in both independent and cooperative work towards the framing of

to apply the knowledge gained in this subject to their own lives in a
reflexive way.
