Double Degree - Honours Bachelor of Arts - Gender and Women's Studies & Bachelor of Education - Primary/Junior

The field of Gender and Women's Studies has transformed dramatically since its introduction to Lakehead University . Alongside women’s experiences and gendered systems, students will examine elements of: • Sexuality • Queer Theory • Law • Masculinity • Transnational Activism • Ecofeminism • Social Justice • Pop Culture • Embodiment

Lakehead University Department of Women’s Studies takes an interdisciplinary approach to feminism. The faculty members are prominent in the fields of feminist legal studies, women’s health, queer studies, cultural and new media studies and teach related courses that easily springboard the students into the Masters of Social Justice and related postgraduate programs, law schools across Canada, midwifery, policing, and many others.

In Women’s Studies Honours program students are free to combine their studies with a joint major in Gerontology, Psychology, History, English, Indigenous Learning, Sociology, Outdoor Recreation, or Concurrent Education, as well as Concentration or Specialization options with Social Work.

Lakehead University’s Faculty of Education prepares prospective teachers for a dynamic and rewarding career through unique and innovative programming. By emphasizing critical thinking skills and collaborative learning, students will have the flexibility to explore the teaching methods, concepts and values that are meaningful to them.

This program emphasizes practical, experiential learning to ensure students are fully prepared to enter into the workforce post-graduation. Lakehead University’s programs are continually adapted to encompass a variety of educational settings and training opportunities in two divisions: • Primary-Junior (P/J): JK – Grade 6 • Intermediate-Senior (I/S): Grades 7-12

The Concurrent Education program allows students to take courses in both the Faculty of Education and the faculty offering their academic major before taking two years exclusively with the Faculty of Education; five-year program.
