How far have women come? What about efforts to end sexism and racism? What impact do social relationships between women and men have on society? Celebrating it's 25th anniversary the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies is proud to give you the knowledge and tools you need to answer these and other questions and help improve the well-being of those who make up more than half the human race.

Welcome to the Institute

Enroll in the numerous courses in Feminist and Gender Studies (FEM), which analyze the position of women and the construction of gender, class, race, sexuality and disability in society.

Benefit from the knowledge and expertise from the IFGS professors and of a large body of professors from various departments, faculties and schools who are engaged in research on gender, class, race, sexuality and disability.

Joint Chair in Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa and Carleton University

In 1985, the Office of the Secretary of State created a Joint Chair in Women's Studies at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Four other chairs of women's studies, in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Quebec City and Halifax, were also established under the same program.
