The Department of Gender Studies is home to the Black Studies program and the Gender Studies program. We practice interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, teaching, and programming that advance our commitment to social justice and social change.
We embrace an approach to gender that explores and challenges racism, capitalism, colonialism, (hetero)sexism, ableism, and other manifestations of power.
Our scholarship, activism and community work centre marginalized, alternative, and relational knowledges, span local and global contexts, and engage historical and contemporary perspectives. Working together, Black Studies and Gender Studies foster creative, collaborative, culturally diverse and transformative learning environments.
