Aims and objectives

The philosophy of Gender Studies at the School of Humanities at Charles University in Prague (FHS UK) relies on offering an opportunity for a systematic academic study of theoretical and methodological tools for researching and exploring gender issues from a historical perspective, with consideration of cultural and ethnic aspects of a given topic. The activities and courses at the department of Gender Studies at FHS UK are aimed primarily at university students, but not only students of FHS UK; through elective courses and bloc seminars, they are also open to students at other schools and universities in Prague and all over the Czech Republic.
