About Women's Studies
About Women's Studies
Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that brings to light contemporary and historical critical issues centred on women, gender and/or feminism. The program provides students with opportunities to explore the meanings and intersections of such categories as gender, 'race', class, sexual orientation, age, ability, citizenship, and national identity for example, and to examine how such categories might inform and reproduce power relationships.
Students must see an advisor in Women's Studies at a minimum upon registering in WMST and prior to selecting courses for the final year of study.
For further information concerning courses, please consult the IGSF Teaching Programs Handbook available from the IGSF or online at www.mcgill.ca/igsf. The most up-to-date information concerning courses will be on the website.

Faculty of Arts—2010-2011 (last updated Apr. 22, 2010) (disclaimer)
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Joint Honours Component Women's Studies (36 credits)
Students wishing to study at the Honours level in two disciplines can combine Joint Honours Program components in any two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs."Â
Joint Honours students should consult an advisor in each department to discuss their course selection and their interdisciplinary research project (if applicable).
The Joint Honours Component in the Women's Studies program offers a degree of analysis and depth of contemporary and historical critical issues centered on women, gender, and/or feminism beyond that of the Major Concentration. It culminates in the completion of an Honours thesis, supervised by a faculty member. Students secure the approval of a potential thesis advisor during the year before undertaking the thesis. Three credits are accorded to the thesis (graded by the thesis advisor), and 3 credits are accorded to work undertaken in the Colloquium which requires supplemental reading and writing assignments, training in research and thesis writing methods, presentation to the group of theses in progress, and response to the work of others.
Joint Honours students must maintain a program GPA of 3.30 and a CGPA of 3.00.
