GEST's First Free Online Course

Registration is now open for GEST’s first online course within the edX network. The course started on May 11 and is entitled Gender and Intersectionality. Gender intersects with everything and this course will teach participants how to analyse religious texts and traditions, class divisions, racial inequality, sexualities and nationalism through a gendered lens. The course offers an excellent starting point for those coming to gender studies for the first time.

Two slightly more advanced online courses from GEST are currently in the works: Gender, Violence and Post-Conflict States, and Gendering Development.

EdX is a leading international online learning platform founded by Harvard and MIT. Joining edX is natural step for GEST in our efforts to improve the quality and outreach of transnational knowledge transmission and exchange, and to adapt to rapidly changing technological environments in higher education.
