Gender in Politics and Development Reading List
The critical lenses of Gender and Sexuality can be used to analyse all aspects of Politics and
Development. This list contains readings, organised by subject, which integrate an awareness or
gender and sexuality. It is not exhaustive, but provides a starting point and demonstrates the breadth
of writing on political and economic issues which include an understanding of gender or sexuality. It is
intended to counter the assumptions that gender and sexuality are side issues, to be studied only by
those on Gender Studies courses, and the idea that gender is a simply a synonym for ‘women’.
For more information and feedback on gender in SOAS Masters courses in the Politics and
Development Studies departments, please see the accompanying Critical and Inclusive? Report and
Recommendations on Gender Teaching at SOAS.
We welcome any further suggestions to add to the reading list.
