Certificate in Queer Theory, Gender Diversity, and Sexualities Studies

The Certificate in Queer Theory, Gender Diversity, and Sexualities Studies is a specialized program in a growing field that is vital to human services and will allow you to contribute to professional roles committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization.

Students in Queer Theory, Gender Diversity, and Sexualities Studies will learn to use mixed qualitative, quantitative, community engaged, and creative methods. They will be trained critically to engage with the ways sexism, racism, ableism, queerphobia and colonialism enable Queer, Trans and Two-Spirit erasures in mainstream environments, and will acquire transferable skills that enhance their capacities to contribute to professional roles committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization.
