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 experiences and gender structures, you'll investigate diverse areas including: Sexuality, Queer Theory, Legal Frameworks, Masculinity Studies, Global Activism, Ecofeminism, Equity Movements, Popular Culture, and Bodily Politics. These subjects aim to reveal how societal beliefs limit individuals and how such constraints can be overcome to promote fairness. Our Women's Studies Department embraces a multidisciplinary feminist perspective. Faculty experts specialize in feminist jurisprudence, women's wellness, queer theory, and digital media studies, offering courses that effectively prepare students for advanced programs like the Master of Social Justice, Canadian law schools, healthcare professions like midwifery, law enforcement careers, and beyond.
Pursuing an Honours degree in Women's Studies allows you to pair your education with secondary majors in Gerontology, Psychology, History, English, Indigenous Studies, Sociology, Outdoor Education, or Concurrent Education, alongside concentration or specialization pathways in Social Work.
