Introduction

Women and Gender Studies provides an interdisciplinary and culturally inclusive approach to understanding gender. The curriculum addresses the meaning and importance of gender in a variety of individual, institutional and transnational contexts. It provides opportunities to learn about feminist activism and resistance in areas such as citizenship, globalization, religious fundamentalism, war, technoscience, environmentalism and women’s health. The program fosters a strong student community through a wide range of workshops and events as well as academic and practical links to local, national and international organizations. Women and Gender Studies scholarship and organizational initiatives thus address the location of the University of Toronto within a culturally diverse, economically disparate and socially complex city and nation.
