Program

Doctoral and master’s (thesis or MRP) students wishing to undertake graduate studies with an 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.

Participating academic programs include:

The Graduate Collaborative Specialization in Sexualities, Genders and Bodies (SGB) 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.
