Master of Education - Educational Studies - Gender and Women's Studies - (Thesis)

The Faculty of Education at Lakehead University offers a Master of Education program designed to meet students' professional and academic goals and interests.

Lakehead University's Master of Education (MEd) program provides students with a unique learning opportunity, which addresses the current landscape of both education and research. This program consists of two distinct fields of study, Educational Studies and Education for Change.

The Education for Change field provides an innovative learning experience that allows students to complete their Master's of Education with one of the following specializations: • Environmental and Sustainability Education (ESE) • Indigenous Education (IE) • Social Justice Education (SJE)

The Department of Gender and Women's Studies at Lakehead University is dedicated to furthering an understanding of the importance of gender as a category of analysis in scholarly inquiry. Through interdisciplinary instruction, students will critically assess the relevance of existing models of knowledge in reflecting gendered experience and scholarship.

The aim of the program is to encourage the development and integration of gendered teaching, learning, and research within the university community and the community at large. This Collaborative Master's program allows students to combine advanced disciplinary research with gendered scholarship from the interdisciplinary field of Gender and Women's Studies.

Upon completion of the program, the degree awarded specifies the discipline of the participating academic unit and notes the Specialization in Gender and Women's Studies.
