Graduate Courses
- Women's Studies 09.500F1
Issues for Feminist Scholarship
The seminar is designed to inform students about the inception
and the development of feminist scholarship, in Canada and internationally,
and to encourage critical analysis of such questions as the connection
between feminist scholarship and feminist activism; the benefits
and the hazards of interdisciplinary research; the importance
of making interconnections between analyses of gender, and analyses
of social class, race/ethnicity and sexual orientation; the challenge
of integrating feminist research into the traditional disciplines.
While the course focuses primarily on developments in a selection
of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, students
interested in gender as a category of analysis are eligible to
enroll in this course from all faculties, including science and
engineering.
Prerequisite: Graduate standing and permission of the Institute.
