    About

    Certificates allow you to complete a specific group of university courses (for credit) as either part of your degree studies or separately. Additional details on certificates are available here.

    Designed for students with no previous exposure to gender and women's studies, this certificate offers a survey into issues and themes in the field. The program invites you to explore the lives and experiences of marginalized communities historically and cross-culturally, and to critically examine the social, political and economic institutions that structure inequality and oppression.
