What will I learn?

Explore the profound ways gender relations have shaped culture, history and contemporary society. In this program, you will examine a broad range of feminist perspectives through a social justice lens. Dive deep into conversations about labour, reproductive rights, health, popular culture and social movements, law, climate justice, size discrimination, and globalization. Drawing on anti-oppressive, arts-based and social science frameworks, you will develop an interdisciplinary understanding of feminist thought and practice, and the ways they intersect with critical race, disability, decolonial, performance and sexual diversity studies.
