The one-year Master's in Gender Studies equips students with expertise in critical race, gender, sexuality studies, and social justice advocacy.
Queen's Gender Studies program uniquely emphasizes critical race frameworks throughout its undergraduate and graduate curricula. Our students explore gender - the program's central analytical focus - through its intersections with race, class, nationality, sexuality, ability, age, faith, colonial legacies, and global systems. Learners engage in research both domestically and abroad, connecting their academic work with grassroots and international social justice movements. The program fosters scholarship that drives societal transformation and prepares graduates for diverse professional paths in both academic and applied settings.
