The discipline of Gender and Women's Studies has undergone significant evolution since its establishment at Lakehead University in 1990. Beyond exploring women's lived realities and gender structures, you'll investigate diverse areas including: Sexual Identity, Queer Perspectives, Legal Frameworks, Male Identity Studies, Global Advocacy Movements, Ecological Feminism, Equity Movements, Media and Popular Culture, Bodily Experiences. Through these subjects and others, we aim to reveal how societal beliefs limit individuals and how these constraints can be overcome to promote fairness. Our Women's Studies Department employs a multidisciplinary feminist methodology. Our distinguished professors specialize in feminist jurisprudence, women's wellness, LGBTQ+ scholarship, digital media analysis, and offer courses that effectively prepare students for advanced degrees in Equity Studies, Canadian legal education, healthcare professions like midwifery, law enforcement careers, and various other paths.
As an Honors student in Women's Studies, you have the flexibility to pair your degree with a dual major in Aging Studies, Psychological Science, Historical Studies, Literary Arts, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Social Sciences, Nature-Based Education, or Teacher Education, along with focused study tracks in Community Services.
