Bachelor of Arts in Sexualities, Genders and Social Change (Honours)

University of Guelph

Sexuality and gender, including the transgender experience, have a long history tied to masculinity, heteronormativity, discrimination, power, privilege, and inequality. It is the social constructs of sexuality and gender that influence and impact social, political, economic, and cultural systems, and ultimately define your sense of belonging and dictate your freedom in society.The major in Sexualities, Genders and Social Change considers the breadth and depth of scholarly inquiry relating to human identity, embodiment, and self-expression. This program explores theories drawn from the fields of feminism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, transnationalism, LGBTQ, queer and sexuality studies, critical race, queer of colour, and critical whiteness studies, indigenous studies, masculinities, and disabilities among many others. Students engage with subject matter and methods from across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business, gaining the skills and knowledges necessary to serve as twenty-first century leaders in driving meaningful social change.Community Engagement and Global Understanding,Critical and Creative Thinking,Literacy and Communication,Evaluate and Conduct Research,Depth and Breadth of Understanding,Professional Development and Ethical Behavior
