Master of Arts - English and Cultural Studies - Gender and Women's Studies - (Course)

The English Department offers MA students a program that best suits their interests and goals. Lakehead University provides a valuable learning experience to those students interested in the MA as a terminal degree, while also providing those students interested in further study with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue doctoral studies. 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.
