About Us
BiGS provides a forum for innovative interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange in gender and sexuality studies. Under the Director, Heike Bauer, it brings together scholars working in the arts and humanities and the social sciences, and encourages dialogue with practitioners in the creative industries as well as with non-academic constituencies. BiGS fosters postgraduate teaching and research in gender and sexuality studies. Many members of the BIGS are involved in the MA/MSc programmes in Gender and Sexuality
BiGS is home to Birkbeck's College Gender Group and regularly organizes a wide range of events including workshops, conferences, guest lecturers and an artists and activist seminar.
