Undergraduate Courses
The undergraduate program in Women's and Gender Studies enables students to construct an interdisciplinary major, focusing on feminist scholarship, debates and issues and the study of women, gender and sexualities. For students enrolling in first year from 2009, the major will change from a full major (42 units of credit) to a second major ('minor' of 36 uoc).
The Level 1 introductory course ARTS1900: Gendered Worlds: Introduction to WGS is designed to introduce students to the study of women, gender and sexualities through the lens of world history. The course covers topics in feminist history as well as interdisciplinary gender analysis, extending from prehistorical times to the contemporary world.
ARTS1900 prepares students for Women's and Gender Studies courses at the upper level that are taught and administered through different Schools in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. These offer a wide range of foci, topics and disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches.
(Please see the News and Announcements page for additional information on 3rd-year courses in 2010.)
