Honours Bachelor of Arts - English and Women's Studies

The field of Women’s Studies has transformed dramatically since its introduction to Lakehead University in 1990. Alongside women’s experiences and gendered systems, students will examine elements of sexuality, queer theory, social justice, masculinity, and law. Through these topics and more, this program’s goal is to demonstrate how people are constrained by various ideological notions and how these notions can be challenged to facilitate equality.

Student are free to combine their studies with a joint major in English. Contrary to popular belief, the study of English is not simply about books. English is a wide-ranging field of study that uses textual analysis to dig deeper into the society and the world around.

At Lakehead University, the flexibility of English program encourages students to follow their interests within the discipline. They will learn about the historical development of English language literature - from the Medieval to the contemporary period - as well as different theoretical approaches to the study of literary and cultural texts.
