Master of Science in Gender and Womens Studies

Program Overview

Gender and Women’s Studies familiarises students with interdisciplinary feminist perspectives. Students learn to examine the historical, social, psychological, political, economic and cultural dimensions of gender while gaining a more complex understanding of the construction of gender and its intersection with other categories of difference, power, and inequality. By understanding how interlocking systems of oppression and privilege function locally and internationally, students will be better situated to apply their critical thinking skills as they work toward social justice in a global society.
