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; and 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.
