Carleton WGST Undergraduate Program
Our interdisciplinary program will encourage you to question accepted notions and interpretations of the roles of women and men in society, as well as analyze the multiple ways in which gender affects our local, national and global environment.
We have faculty members from various departments across the university and are engaged in researching diverse areas concerning gender, including but not limited to:
- the history of women
- women and the legal system
- sexuality and sexual practices
- gender and international affairs
- women and the arts
- gender and the family
