Bachelor of Arts - Womens Studies and Gender Studies

St. Thomas University

Women's Studies and Gender Studies looks at the intersections among racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, ableism, and other types of discrimination and how they have affected the social positions of individuals. It is an interdisciplinary program that draws on courses from Sociology, Criminology, Human Rights, Anthropology, and Psychology to provide a well-rounded study of gender and sexuality. The program emphasizes an intersectional perspective, which means students learn to analyze various forms of power differentials. This enables them to address the social inequities present in society and work toward dismantling them.
