This course allows you to undertake a substantial piece of supervised research in Gender and Sexuality Studies to make an original contribution to the discipline that is worthy of publication. Recent doctoral theses have included: ‘The (In)Visible father: Lesbian Motherhood and Artificial Insemination in Britain from the Seventies to Late Eighties’, ‘Being Queer and Jewish: a Cross-Cultural Study of Ethno-Religious Experiences and Divides’, ‘Mapping Intimacy and Pleasure in a Beauty Salon: First-Generation Migrant Women from South Asia in London’.


The PhD is offered by the Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (CMII) within the School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS). Research students can specialise in any aspect of gender or sexuality studies for which supervision is available. Supervision is available from world-leading researchers from SELCS and CMII, with 83% of SELCS-CMII research activity being graded 4* ‘world leading’ and 3* ‘internationally excellent’ in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. We also work with supervisors from other departments in the faculty of Arts and Humanities, as well as staff at the faculties of Social and Historical Sciences, Laws and Built Environment, together with the School of Slavonic and East European Studies and the Institute of Education.


Our supervisors’ disciplinary expertise cuts across many different areas including anthropology, architecture, development studies, education, geography, history, history of art, IR, law, literary and film studies, queer studies, sociology and urban studies.

Applicants need excellent qualifications in a relevant humanities or social science discipline: a first or very good upper second-class (minimum average 65%) Bachelor’s degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. We prefer candidates to have a distinction or indication of distinction-level work (e.g. a distinction mark for the dissertation) at Master’s level or equivalent. In the first instance, candidates should establish a dialogue with a potential supervisor before making a formal application. Admission is normally dependent on the submission of a detailed research project proposal.
