15.8.1 Department of Gender Studies Description
Gender Studies is an academic area of study that critically examines how gender shapes our identities, our social interactions and our world. Through exposure to interdisciplinary perspectives, students develop frameworks for thinking about power relations and the ways that those relations are shaped and challenged by intersecting constructions of gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, age and nationality. Gender Studies examines everyday experiences, social and political institutions, literary and philosophical contributions, and historical and contemporary issues and events. The discipline provides students with tools to engage with and critically analyze these areas.
The following undergraduate programs are available in the Department of Gender Studies:
Major in Gender Studies
Minor in Gender Studies
Gender Studies course descriptions are found at the end of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences section under Course Descriptions, Gender Studies and are designated by GNDR.
