在挑战您的个人和政治信念的同时，发展批判性观点以及高度发达的研究和分析技能。妇女与性别研究专业的课程重点关注包括种族在内的矩阵中的性别
Develop a critical perspective and strong research and analytic skills while challenging your personal and political beliefs. The program in Women's and Gender Studies focuses on gender within a matrix that includes race, class, ability, sexuality, sexual and gender identity, age, nationality, Indigeneity and ethnicity. Students gain an understanding of how social and cultural structures are shaped by gender and how the critical study of gender has brought about massive changes for both women and men in Canada and globally in key areas such as political participation, work, healthcare, education and justice. Students are encouraged to help foster change at the local level through experiential learning in their coursework and in collaboration with organizations such as Voices for Women, Health Sciences North's sexual assault crisis centre, and YWCA Sudbury.<br><br>Key features<br>• Apply for paid positions as research assistants<br>through Laurentian's Work Study program.<br>• Emerge with a strong sense of self and the<br>ability to make changes in a variety of places<br>including within the family, workplace, politics<br>and media.<br>• Engage directly in educational and activist<br>work around gender issues and social justice<br>through coursework and organizations like the<br>Women's Centre.<br>• Present your work publicly every spring at the<br>Annual Women's and Gender Studies Student<br>Symposium.<br>• Participate in the Women's and Gender Studies<br>Association, an active student association that<br>develops social and educational events
