Program Coordinator: Dr. E. Yeoman, Faculty of Education
The Minor in Women's Studies is a multi-disciplinary program offered to
candidates for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor
of Commerce (Co-operative), Bachelor of Business Administration, and the
physical education and recreation degrees offered by the School of Human
Kinetics and Recreation. The Minor program is an alternative to a Minor offered
by a single department and satisfies the degree requirement for a Minor.
The objective of the program is to explore the experience and contributions
of women from the perspective of different academic disciplines and to compare
the situation of women in society with that of men. Assumptions about women
and gender differences and the social implications of these assumptions
will be explored. While consideration will be given to socially relevant
issues, attention will also be paid to the implications for academic disciplines
of the research on women and their contribution to society.
