What is Women’s Studies?
Women’s Studies originated in the 1960s as a result of political critiques of the marginalization of important groups and perspectives within the educational system. Women’s studies has since has broadened, deepened, and has become an established scholarly field. Women’s Studies scholars explore gender relations and women’s experiences across cultures and nations, throughout history, and in contemporary societies. What unites Women’s Studies scholars is the shared understanding that gender relations shape every site of human interaction, from the very local, to the global. Hierarchical gender relations are understood in constant interaction with other important social, economic and cultural hierarchies, such as class, race, and sexuality.
As an interdisciplinary program, Women’s Studies draws on theoretical perspectives and methodologies from a wide range of disciplines such as History, Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Literary Studies, and the Natural Sciences. Trent University’s approach to Women’s Studies combines theory with empirical research, encourages critical thinking, and aims to develop in students strong analytical, writing and communication skills.

Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary exploration of the concepts and practices of “Canadianness”. Through a critical examination of themes such as Sovereignty, Nationalism, Indigeneity, Regionalism, Multiculturalism, Immigration, Labour, and Peacekeeping, as well as by exploring representations of Canada in film, art, and literature, Canadian Studies allows for a greater understanding of the diverse and often contested meanings of the Canadian experience and Canadian citizenship.
