Overview

The Collaborative Specialization in Sexualities, Genders and Bodies at University of Guelph examines advanced concepts relating to human identity, embodiment and self-expression. Students explore theories drawn from the fields of feminism, decolonialism, postcolonialism, LGBTQ+, race/whiteness, queer-of-colour, indigeneity, masculinities and disability/crip studies among many others.
