Bachelor of Arts BA Honours Gender Sexuality Feminist and Social Justice Studies

The Honours program offers a significant degree of analysis and depth of study into contemporary and historical critical issues centered on gender, sexuality, feminism, and social justice beyond the Major through required and complementary course work, intensive research, and seminars. The program enables students to explore the meanings and intersections of such categories as gender, race, class, sexual identification, age, ability, citizenship, and national identity, for example, and to examine how such categories might inform and reproduce power relationships. The Honours program culminates in the completion of an Honours thesis, supervised by a faculty member whose approval is sought the year prior.
