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: Sexual Identity, Queer Perspectives, Legal Frameworks, Male Identity Studies, Global Advocacy Movements, Environmental Feminism, Equity Issues, Media Representations, and Bodily Autonomy. 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. Faculty experts specialize in feminist jurisprudence, women's wellness, LGBTQ+ research, and digital cultural studies, offering courses that effectively prepare students for advanced degrees in Social Justice, Canadian legal education, healthcare professions like midwifery, law enforcement careers, and various other fields.
As an Honors student in Women's Studies, you have the flexibility to pair your degree with a secondary focus in Aging Studies, Psychological Science, Historical Research, Literary Arts, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Social Theory, Nature-Based Education, or Teacher Training programs, along with focused study paths in Community Services.
