WHAT IS WOMEN'S STUDIES?

 Explore the dynamics that shape your everyday experiences as a gendered person in contemporary culture. In our courses you will learn how to develop a critical perspective that takes factors such as sex, gender, sexuality, race, class and disability into account. You might find your worldview transformed as you apply these perspectives to your study in other classes and to all aspects of your life. Our courses reflect an expanding field of feminist research including feminist theory, health issues, philosophy, queer issues and sexuality studies, legal issues, violence against women, women and equity in the workplace, and women and the creative arts.

Women's Studies is a department in both the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Social Science therefore, students may count Women's Studies courses as either a Category A or B credit, when considering breadth requirements.
