About Gender and Social Justice
McMaster’s Gender and Social Justice Program is a vibrant learning community committed to the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, age, and other categories of social difference, through feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and queer social justice lenses. The program is interdisciplinary in our teaching, learning, research, and activism, and prioritizes community-engaged research and praxis. Our M.A. is a one-year degree; our PhD Diploma is available as an additional credential to qualified students enrolled in doctoral programs at McMaster. We also offer an undergraduate interdisciplinary minor in Gender Studies.
