Black Studies and Gender Studies at Queen's

The Department of Gender Studies practices interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, teaching, and programming that advance our commitment to social justice and social change.

We embrace an approach to gender that explores and challenges racism, capitalism, colonialism, (hetero)sexism, ableism, and other manifestations of power.

Our scholarship, activism and community work centre marginalized, alternative, and relational knowledges, span local and global contexts, and engage historical and contemporary perspectives. Together we foster an accessible, culturally diverse, and transformative learning environment.

Statement on Queen’s University homecoming weekend

Queen’s University homecoming weekend was, once again, scattered with misogynist signs that explicitly targeted women.  As the week begins, students on campus must sit in classes and tutorials next to colleagues who may have written and hung misogynist signs.
