8.29.1 Program Information
Fundamental questions of equality and social justice are still very much with us, and as a dynamic interdisciplinary program, we explore both current and historical debates about women's experiences, gender relations, and feminism. Courses take diverse theoretical and practical approaches, including feminist cultural studies and studies of popular culture, violence against women, lesbian and queer studies, women in science and technology, gendered violence in urban spaces, sex work and sex workers, feminist geography, indigenous feminisms, masculinity studies, and reconstructing indigenous art histories that recontextualize museum collections and reclaim women's voices and lives.
For entry, continuation and graduation requirements for the General Degree, Advanced Degree and Honours Degree, see Section 3: Basic Faculty Regulations for the B.A. General, Advanced and Honours Degree Programs.

Coordinated Programs in Women's and Gender Studies
Students may take courses in the Women's and Gender Studies program at the University of Winnipeg and, where applicable, have these courses credited to their degree at the University of Manitoba. The coordinated program offers students access to more faculty resources, greater course selection and additional library facilities and thus can enrich their Women's and Gender Studies program.
Students are advised to consult with the Women's and Gender Studies coordinator for information on courses available for credit in Women's and Gender Studies.
In addition, special courses under the rubric of selected topics or contemporary issues may be available in various Arts departments, particularly Anthropology, English, Psychology, and Sociology, for Women's and Gender Studies credit in any given academic session.
