O’Reilly,S. RosenbergWomen’s StudiesWomen's Studies is both a complement and acorrective to established fields at York and anew academic discipline of its own. Untilrecently, both the humanities and the socialsciences reflected predominantly maleperspectives. Women have been largelyinvisible in literature, art, history, philosophy,politics, social sciences and law. Throughcross-cultural and disciplinary assessment,Women's Studies exposes misconceptionsabout women expressed through myth,ideologies, teachings and writings. It replacesnegative cultural images of women with visionsthat reaffirm women's strength, capability andintelligence.The School of Women’s Studies unitesacademic resources at York University inWomen’s Studies, bringing together theundergraduate and graduate programs, thenon-credit Bridging Program for Women andthe Centre for Feminist Research/Le centre derecherches féministes à York.A feature which distinguishes theundergraduate Glendon Women’s Studiesprogram from the other two offered at York is itsbilingual focus. Non-parallel courses areoffered in both languages. As a result, agenuine dialogue develops between theapproaches of anglophones and francophonesto theory, philosophy, literature, legalstructures and language.School of Women’s StudiesCourses of Instruction/Écoledes études des femmesDescription des coursNote: Not all courses will necessarily beoffered in any given year.
