Announcing the Gender and Sexuality Studies program
Effective July 1, 2021, the University of Calgary’s Women’s Studies program, under the Department of Philosophy, will officially be renamed Gender and Sexuality Studies.
This change was officially declared on March 8 during the International Women’s Day panel which celebrated the Gender and Sexuality Studies program and the continued importance of advancing gender and sexuality scholarship alongside equity, diversity and inclusion across the university. The panelists included UCalgary’s Women Studies program professors Dr. Joe Kadi, Dr. Safaneh Mohaghegh Neyshabouri and Dr. Rebecca Sullivan. They spoke on various topics relating to gender and sexuality, and how it is influenced by factors like society, race and religion.
