Sexualities, Genders, and Social Change, BA Honours

The major in Sexualities, Genders, and Social Change considers the breadth and depth of scholarly inquiry relating to human identity, embodiment, and self-expression. This program explores theories drawn from the fields of feminism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, transnationalism, LGBTQ+, queer and sexuality studies, critical race, queer of colour, and critical whiteness studies, indigenous studies, masculinities, and (dis)abilities among many others. Students engage with subject matter and methods from across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business, gaining the skills and knowledges necessary to serve as twenty-first century leaders in driving meaningful social change. Experiential learning opportunities are embedded throughout the program and students participate in a capstone community-engaged project.
