Master of Gender Studies

About this programme

The Master of Gender Studies degree allows students to critically examine – at an advanced level – how gender shapes our identities, our social interactions and our world. Students will study frameworks for thinking about power relations and the ways those relations are shaped and challenged by intersecting constructions of gender, race, class, sexuality, age, ability and nationality. We offer three degree completion options: thesis, project, internship. We also offer a graduate diploma, which is not a degree. Faculty members in the Department of Gender Studies have research interests and expertise on a range of topics, including: human rights; corporeal feminism; reproductive justice; auto/biography and life writing; queer theory; decolonial, postcolonial and transnational feminisms; and Indigenous Feminisms. Our graduates have launched careers in public, private, and non-profit sectors as: Note: All figures are in Canadian dollars and subject to change.
