Welcome to the Feminist and Gender Studies program at ÕýÆ·À¶µ¼º½!

Our program offers a minor, major, and honours in the innovative and exciting field of women’s and gender studies. With an emphasis on interdisciplinarity, our courses focus on interlocking issues such as the construction and material consequences of gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, religion, ethnicity, and age.

We are committed to teaching with a focus on anti-racism, anti-colonialism, feminist theory, queer and trans studies, and social justice.
