Gender & Social Justice (Co-op Available)

Explore the ways gender and systems of power have shaped our culture, history, and contemporary society in this unique interdisciplinary degree program at Trent. As a Gender & Social Justice student, you will have the advantage of drawing upon methods and approaches from the arts, sciences, and social sciences to explore a range of themes in relation to gender, race, class, disability, and sexuality. You will learn to challenge assumptions about feminism, gender, and human inequality and develop your own ideas and approaches to equity and social justice in workshops and community-focused courses. With guidance and mentorship from leading faculty researchers and activists (including Canada Research Chairs), you’ll cultivate strong critical thinking, communication, and social awareness skills increasingly sought after in a variety of sectors, including social work, education, human resources, politics, and business, just to name a few.
