Program Overview

Women’s Studies and Gender Studies examines the different perspectives of gender and sexuality in all aspects of life, including politics, education, family, the labour force, literature, and the media.  It 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.

Women’s Studies and Gender Studies at STU
Women’s Studies and Gender Studies 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.
