Women's Studies

WomenпПХs Studies at McGill University is a diverse and interdisciplinary program that links feminist theoretical and methodological foundations with cutting-edge developments in the broad fields of gender, feminist, and queer studies. We offer undergraduates the opportunity to choose a Minor, Major, Honours, or Joint Honours concentration in WomenпПХs Studies. We also have an outstanding Graduate Option in Gender and WomenпПХs Studies. Issues in feminist philosophy, gender and disability studies, gender and race in Canada, queer cultures and modernity, gender and law, feminist theory and research, and feminist theories of identity are among the subjects of our diverse course offerings. In all of these courses we value open discussion and encourage a wide range of positions and perspectives.In addition to this solid, academic foundation in WomenпПХs Studies, we offer opportunities for hands-on training. Students can undertake an internship related to WomenпПХs Studies and write a final paper on their practical experience. Independent study options are also possible for students who wish to explore a particular topic or body of knowledge in-depth.
