That looks absolutely awesome. I would so apply for that if I... actually had the time. Or was able to.
Some pompous ideas: literary analysis becomes an empty vessel if one cannot understand the protagonists - or rather, the ones who have often been passed over as protagonists (Hello, Judith, Shakespeare's imaginary sister). This means that gender studies will give you an entirely new perspective on not only the world as it is now, but also on how it used to be, and how these states have determined and influenced literature in its form, content and underlying ideas. Not only that, but gender is a fundamental part of how we see the world - it's one of the first things we characterize people by, but what does it *mean*? What does it *entail*? This is what you want to study.
