Why choose Gender Studies at UVic?
Explore how identity, power and culture shape everyday life. You will look at gender alongside race, class, sexuality, age and ability to understand inequality and imagine better futures. Courses bring in Indigenous and global perspectives, local and international issues, and real examples of activism and community change.
- Small classes and close community: Share ideas in seminars where your voice matters—most first-year classes have fewer than 50 students and strong faculty support.
- Home to the world’s largest Transgender Archives: Explore more than a century of Trans+ history and activism preserved at UVic—an international resource for gender diversity and inclusion.
