University of Calgary's Gender and Sexuality Studies (GSXS) program focuses on issues of gender and sexuality, as well as race, class, disability, citizenship/documentation, age, and environmental issues. Our work is defined by an intersectional, global approach, and issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion are featured in all of our classes. GSXS instructors are committed to collaborative and participatory classrooms, decolonial learning, and a human rights agenda. The Gender and Sexuality Studies Major program is designed to provide students with knowledge of the rapidly developing disciplinary and interdisciplinary literature in the field, while providing them with an understanding of the reasons for the development of a feminist scholarship. From its activist and academic perspective, the program will help prepare students for careers in government, social work, and business, while also providing them with a mode of analysis applicable to related fields, and to their own lives.<br><br>Career opportunities<br>GSXS graduates embark on meaningful careers in communications, the non-profit sector, sexual health education, business, and environmental justice initiatives.
