| The Collaborative Specialization in Sexualities, Genders and Bodies examines advanced concepts relating to human identity, embodiment and self-expression. Students explore theories drawn from the fields of feminism, decolonialism, postcolonialism, LGBTQ+, race/whiteness, queer-of-colour, indigeneity, masculinities and disability/crip studies among many others. Students engage with these topics from interdisciplinary perspectives and apply these concepts, theories and methodologies to research in their home discipline. Doctoral and master’s (thesis or MRP) students wishing to undertake graduate studies with emphasis on Sexualities, Genders and Bodies will be admitted by a participating department and will register in both the participating department and in the collaborative specialization. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Graduate students in this Collaborative Specialization must meet the admission requirements of the Participating Program in which they hope to enroll. Prospective students will apply to their primary program of interest, identifying the Collaborative Specialization as a focus. Applicants will be required to explain in their Statement of Intent how their research ideas fit with the Sexualities, Genders, and Bodies specialization and how their background and interests will contribute to the vitality of the specialization. Once an application is approved by the student’s home department, their file will be reviewed by the SGB Graduate Committee.
Graduate students who are currently enrolled in a Participating Program can apply directly to the Collaborative Specialization by writing a Statement of Intent that explains how their research ideas fit with the SGB specialization and how their background and interests will contribute to the vitality of the specialization (max. 500 words).
