Library
The Queen's library system has excellent Gender Studies holdings and continues to invest in related areas such as Women’s Studies, Feminist Studies, Queer Studies, and Critical Race Studies, allowing Queen's students and faculty access to online journals covering all facets of the discipline alongside building a substantial holding of books and monographs in the field.

Financial Assistance
Resources for stipends are derived from a combination of Queen’s Graduate Awards (QGA), teaching assistantships (TA-ships) in the department’s undergraduate courses, contributions from research grants and contracts, internal scholarships and awards, and external scholarships and awards. Stipends are typically paid in three equal installments throughout the year.
Students must apply for scholarships awarded by Queen’s University in addition awards from Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS).

Program of Study
Master of Arts (M.A.)
The Master's program will lead to a degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies. The M.A. in Gender Studies has been designed as a two-year thesis program. Full time students are required to take two core courses (GNDS-801 and GNDS-802) and two elective courses in their first year. The second year will be dedicated to reading, writing and defending theses (GNDS-899). Completed M.A. theses will be 75-100 pages and must comply with the regulations of the School of Graduate Studies at Queen's University.
Part-time student options can be negotiated with the Graduate Coordinator on a case-by-case basis.

Program Vision
The M.A. in Gender Studies is a theoretically rigorous program that will allow students to explore areas such as textual and creative narrative, political economies, social justice, and indigenous and migratory cultures, with an emphasis on feminist interdisciplinary scholarship. The overall vision of the M.A. in Gender Studies is to provide students with excellent research skills through which they critically engage with questions of social difference (race, location, age, class, ethnicity, sexuality and so forth). Courses, discussions, and research projects will thus address complex gendered histories, varying feminist and political knowledges, ongoing emancipatory struggles, and theoretical debate. Students will gain valuable critical thinking, writing and verbal skills, in addition to applying feminist and interdisciplinary knowledges to local-global struggles.
