Our Master of Arts in Women’s and Gender Studies program will be of interest to students seeking to acquire the critical skills to explore gender as a social relation of power and to conduct advanced feminist research with a focus on globalization and transnationalism. The program provides students with a foundational graduate degree which prepares them for both work in transnational feminist contexts and for pursuing doctoral studies. Core learning objectives of the program include: transnational feminist scholarship, critical research and thinking skills, interdisciplinary and grounded knowledge.
