Welcome to Gender Studies at Karlstad University!

Gender Studies is more than just a subject; it's an eye-opener. It changes your perspective on the world. Before delving into Gender Studies, you might not have thought much about how our relationship with sexuality, gender, and identity has shaped history, influences the present, and will shape the future. After immersing yourself in this field, you'll come to realize that these questions permeate all aspects of life. Gender Studies sheds light on the historical and contemporary significance of sexuality, gender, and identity in knowledge, society, and culture.

The foundation of Gender Studies lies in recognizing the pivotal role of gender dimensions in all contexts, both big and small. It's a discipline rooted in feminist research, scrutinizing gender relationships from a perspective of power. In today's society, knowledge of these issues is critical in various domains, from corporate leadership to family life. By studying Gender Studies, you gain the language and tools to reshape the rules in your workplace, within your family, and in your personal life – and you can also contribute to reshaping society as a whole. Do you want to make an impact on the world around you? Study Gender Studies.

We offer the opportunity to delve deeper into this field through bachelor's degrees and advanced courses in Gender Studies. We also provide a range of shorter courses, both online and on-campus, for those who are interested.

Gender Studies is closely linked to the Center for Gender Research (CGF), an interdisciplinary and strategic environment at the university. CGF is dedicated to research and education across the entire field of Gender Studies.
