Undergraduate Programs - Women's Studies
The Institute of Women’s Studies offers an intensive inter- and multi-disciplinary program on the status, the experiences and the contributions — both past and present — of women in society. Focusing on some of the critical issues driving today’s society — globalization, international development, post-colonialism and minority rights — the program integrates three types of knowledge:
- Scientific knowledge (theory, debates, methodology);
- Practical knowledge (basic intellectual skills and career-oriented skills);
- Knowledge contributing to personal and collective well-being.
Students combine their own experiences with a curriculum that sharpens their critical analytical skills and thus equips them to work in both the public and private sectors, and in an array of fields:
- Violence and inequality in gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation;
- International traffiking in women;
- Marginalization and exclusion of women in cultural, economic, legal, political, social and health contexts;
- Feminist movements and feminist activism;
- Development of public policies that support equity.
