Overview
You might find your worldview transformed as you apply these perspectives to your study in other classes and to all aspects of your life.
This Women's Studies and Feminist Research program from the University of Western Ontario reflects an expanding field of feminist research including feminist theory, health issues, philosophy, queer issues and sexuality studies, legal issues, violence against women, women and equity in the workplace, and women and the creative arts.
Critical sensibilities
The one-year, full-time Master's Program strives to cultivate students’ critical sensibilities and enrich skills in research and teaching in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment through advanced training in feminist theory, methodology, and professionalization.
In addition to the required courses, students may enroll in courses in a variety of disciplines to support their learning goals, and have the option of completing the MA entirely through course work or combining course work with an Independent Research Project (IRP).
