A better future for everyone. This ambition motivates our scientists in executing their leading research and inspiring teaching. At Utrecht University, the various disciplines collaborate intensively towards major societal themes. Our focus is on Dynamics of Youth, Institutions for Open Societies, Life Sciences and Sustainability.
The Faculty of Humanities has around seven thousand students and nine hundred staff members. It comprises four knowledge domains: Philosophy and Religious Studies, History and Art History, Media and Culture Studies, and Languages, Literature and Communication. With its research and education in these fields, the Faculty aims to contribute to a better understanding of the Netherlands and Europe in a rapidly changing social and cultural context. The enthusiastic and committed colleagues and the excellent amenities in the historical city centre of Utrecht, where the Faculty is housed, contribute to an inspiring working environment.
The department of Media and Culture Studies provides education and conducts research in the fields of film, television, games, new media and digital culture, visual arts, theatre, dance and performance, gender and postcolonialism, music and cultural policies. Culture is a dynamic mix of artistic, creative and everyday practices with which people shape their identities and actions, and within which societal structures and institutions take shape. Media (old and new) are crucial factors in these processes.
The Graduate Gender Programme (GGeP) is placed in the department of Media and Culture Studies. The scholars from the various research groups in Media and Culture Studies often work together in order to explore different facets of the role played by gender, ethnicity, art, culture, and media in present-day society. The Gender Studies research focuses on processes of in- and exclusion and diversity in a broad range of media, cultural and artistic performances, which are studied within their intermedial context. We pay particular attention to the relation between historical and contemporary developments, transmedial and intermedial phenomena, social and cultural inclusion and diversity, activism, cultural heritage and the digital humanities.
The Gender Studies research group is further embedded in the Research Institute of Cultural Inquiry (ICON) in the faculty of the Humanities, the UU research area ‘Institutions’ and the focus research area ‘Culture, Citizenship and Human Rights’. UU Gender Studies also directs the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG) and is the initiator of the Postcolonial Studies Initiative (PCI).
