Welcome To Women’s Studies

"NEW PROGRAMS 

We are delighted to announce a number of new programs in Women's Studies starting in September 2008, and also a number of exciting new course requirements and course options.  We now have a four year Honours BA in Women's Studies and a four year BA in Women's Studies. 

We also now have a number of joint Honours Degree in combination with a number of other programs, as listed below.  Those students who are presently registered in the Women's Studies BA or in any of the joint programs with Major Concentration in Women's Studies will be provided with options necessary for completion of their program, and also, for those who wish to do so, a bridging mechanism by which to switch to the new Honours programs. Students should seek academic advising when selecting their courses by contacting the Chair of the Women's Studies Department, Dr. Helen Smith, 343-8581,
hsmith@lakeheadu.ca.   

The Department of Women's Studies at Lakehead University furthers the understanding of the importance of gender and the complex intersection of gender, class, race, sexuality, ability and other markers of difference, as categories of analysis in scholarly inquiry.  Through interdisciplinary instruction, students will critically assess the extent to which past, current and emerging models of knowledge reflect the diversity of women's experiences and scholarship. The aim of the program is to encourage the development and integration of feminist teaching, learning, and research within the university community and the community at large.

 OUR HISTORY

The Lakehead University Women’s Studies Group was founded in 1987 to provide a forum for faculty to discuss gender issues in curriculum development and academic research.  A survey of students, faculty and community organizations provided the impetus to establish a Women’s Studies Minor Program in 1990.

Since its inception in 1990/91, the program has grown rapidly in student numbers and in course offerings.  We offer a graduate program, a degree program and a minor program.  We are also happy to announce that the Lakehead Women’s Studies Program is now a Department, one of the very few in Canada!

In keeping with Lakehead University’s Northern Vision, the Women’s Studies Program addresses northern women’s issues within a global context.  An integral part of the program’s vision is to our commitment to exploring the diversity of women’s experiences.
