General Information
Women's and Gender Studies is an area which examines human behaviour, institutions and culture, in order to analyse the gender assumptions on which they are based. It draws from a variety of disciplinary approaches, methodologies and theories such as those used in politics, history, sociology, economics, literature, health studies, education, archaeology, biology and management.
Women's and Gender Studies makes use of concepts within these traditional disciplines, and develops further its own distinctive conceptual frameworks and analytical methodologies which challenge and complement them. Women's and Gender Studies develops students' critical awareness of the relevance of gender to the analysis of power relations and equity issues. The Program enhances students' qualifications for careers in all work environments. It also prepares students for postgraduate research in Women's and Gender Studies.
