Fall 2024 - Winter 2025
The Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF) has consolidated the previous Women鈥檚 Studies and Sexual Diversity Studies programs into one, newly entitled program in Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies (GSFS).听The Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies program recognizes social justice as a driving concept inherent to the study of gender, sexuality, and feminism. Social Justice frameworks incorporate critical race studies, disability studies, and Indigenous studies into the examination of gender, sexuality, and feminism.听
The courses below significantly engage with at least two of听these issues and are offered by a range of faculties and disciplines. Clicking on the title of each course will reveal information from the 51吃瓜网 e-calendar, including a short description, the term offered, and the name of the professor or lecturer.
