Women’s Studies School: Mount Allison University Faculty: Faculty of Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Women's Studies Description: Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program with a critical focus on social, cultural, economic, and political issues from the perspective of gender. Drawing on a substantial body of scholarship that challenges many of the assumptions and methods of traditional academic disciplines, Women's Studies creates new perspectives from which all students may analyze such issues as work, health, sexuality, violence, family, race, class and ethnicity. The curriculum of the Minor in Women's Studies includes core courses in Women's Studies and elective courses in the following departments or programs: Anthropology, Canadian Studies, Classics, Drama, English, Fine Arts, Geography and Environment, History, International Relations, Modern Languages and Literatures, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies and Sociology. The core courses provide an introduction to the principles of Women's Studies as well as a more advanced study of the theoretical and methodological approaches of feminism.
