MA GNDS 2016

"My time in the MA program in Gender Studies at Queen's was fantastic. The unwavering support of my adviser, Scott Morgensen, along with other faculty like Trish Salah, Katherine McKittrick, and Beverley Mullings with whom I had the privilege of working in various capacities, enabled me to grow not only as a scholar, but as a person. Having the opportunity to teach bright and passionate students, especially during a time where some conservative activists took aim at Gender Studies and allied departments, taught me the value and political importance of a feminist education that I had often taken for granted. Gender Studies at Queen's was a safe haven, and a reprieve, not only for those students seeking an environment where they could name the injustices they witnessed without being told to pipe down, but also for myself."
