    Women's and Gender Studies

    About

    Women's and Gender Studies (WGST) is an innovative, interdisciplinary program that explores human behaviour, institutions, culture, politics, and social issues. Students will examine current and historical events, theories, and movements related to gender and sexuality, race and Indigeneity, class relations, disability, and other areas, building skills in critical thinking, gender-based analysis, anti-oppressive research, and equity, diversity, and inclusion.


    What you will learn

    Through innovative classrooms and assignments you will examine gender in politics, news, media, art, music, science, religion, and theory. You will also explore the ways that gender and sexuality are shaped by colonialism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and transphobia, as well as by constructions of difference based on class, disability, religion, ethnicity, and culture.
