Where WGS-4232 counts
Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course moves students toward the work, activism, and study they will conduct following graduation. It examines the academy and other workplaces as gendered locations, from theoretical and practical perspectives. Students learn strategies and techniques for success in applying for and working within graduate programs and workplaces. This capstone seminar accommodates discussions of students' specific current research and fosters knowledge mobilisation at conferences and meetings including the annual WGS Colloquium and, when appropriate, publication. The seminar gives students the opportunity to work collectively, listen, read purposively, and constructively critique and support each other's work.
