Honours BA in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies - Mississauga in Mississauga Canada | University of Toronto

The global dynamics of gender and sexuality influence all facets of social life. Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) offers a nuanced perspective on how social factors like race, class, indigenous identity, and sexual orientation shape lived experiences. This program equips students to engage critically with societal challenges and pursue diverse career paths in fields such as policy, law, healthcare, activism, public service, tech, media, and cultural sectors. Gender dynamics permeate every social dimension. WGSS delivers a sophisticated framework for examining how gender operates within social contexts. The program promotes feminist scholarship that bridges academic disciplines and global perspectives, transcending traditional theoretical boundaries. At UTM's Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, we emphasize pioneering pedagogy and research that examines gender formation alongside intersecting power structures including class, race, cultural background, faith, ability, age, sexual identity, and citizenship.
Our curriculum spans multiple disciplines and global contexts, examining both historical and contemporary gender experiences across diverse cultures. This interdisciplinary approach prepares students for various academic and professional applications within Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM fields.
