The Department was sanctioned by the University Council in November 2013. Its founding members are Prof. Marceline Naudi, Prof. JosAnn Cutajar and Prof. Brenda Murphy. Our Department has a clearly defined theoretical position – feminisms, masculinities, queer studies, and post-colonialism – and gender is viewed through these lenses. At its core, intersectionality is paramount and this is played out through engagement across all grounds. Sex, gender, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, state of health, disability, marital status, migrant or refugee status, or other status.
