People

I have never felt so welcomed as I have in the Department of Gender at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. It is truly a collective. Every single member of staff has made us feel like we are part of this community. The department has been pivotal in the ways I understand myself and others. The dedication to give its students every possibility to achieve great things after this MSc has truly been inspiring. The commitment to speaking directly and clearly about political issues has been truly heartwarming. In a world where fear and loneliness triumphs, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Gender Department offers a place for the heart and mind to feel safe.
