This background has enabled the discipline to remain committed to the inter-relation of theory and practice. MPhil in Gender Studies is a research-focused program which banks on interdisciplinary methodology and aims to explore the intersections of feminist studies, masculinity studies and queer studies, to produce meaningful research. Research undertaken in the program focuses on diverse ways in which gender and gender roles, gender symbols and archetypes, and contribution of the same in cultural change is understood.
