Gender and Women's Studies gives students an opportunity to explore gender issues in an interdisciplinary context, and it offers a useful complement to other fields. The required courses provide a framework for understanding the gender-based aspects of knowledge, power, and society.
Gender and Women's Studies represents a new approach to knowledge; it examines the gender-based aspects of human experience and women's roles in society. Gender and Women's Studies includes a wide variety of academic disciplines and professions.
UNBF established an interdisciplinary Women’s Studies Program in 1986 to offer students the opportunity to study the experiences and achievements of women, with a view to gaining a more complete and balanced understanding of women’s and men’s lives, both historically and in contemporary society. As the understanding of sex, sexuality, gender, intersectionality, and human rights evolved, the program developed into Gender and Women’s Studies in 2014.
The main goals are to ensure that the contributions of women and minorities are fairly represented in university courses and research, to examine critically some basic assumptions underlying the academic disciplines, to promote scholarship which recognizes and reflects the diversity of lives, and to link up with community organizations working for women’s equality and social justice.
The University of New Brunswick also has a University Women's Centre - a safe, inviting space for everyone. It can be accessed for meetings. It can also be used as a drop-in center or a place to get referrals and resource materials from other agencies. The Centre is an area for individuals to sit and study or eat lunch, meet friends or attend cultural, educational and social events sponsored by the Centre.
