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

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 Educational Studies field offers students the opportunity to earn their Master's of Education while studying educational research, theory, and practice in a variety of educational contexts, as well as the chance to specialize in Gerontology or Women's Studies.

All class sizes are small, giving students the opportunity to interact with classmates, instructors, and other faculty members.

The Educational Studies field refers to a wide range of educational research, theory, and practice within formal, non-formal, and informal contexts. This is a dynamic field of study in areas such as educational sociology, philosophy, psychology, law, policy, leadership, measurement, assessment, and curriculum content areas such as mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, to name a few.

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.
