Sexual Diversity Studies (MA., Ph.D.)
The Mark S. Bonham Centre hosts a collaborative graduate program in Sexual Diversity Studies at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels for faculty and students interested in questions about how we understand sexual diversity and sexual practices.
Among these questions are how we frame and categorize sexual differences, why we fear some and celebrate others, how medical, religious, and political authorities respond to them. What is the nature of sexual identity and orientation? How and why is sexuality labeled as lesbian, heterosexual, perverse, normal, gay, or queer? How do cultures at different times and places divide the sexual from the non-sexual? http://www.uc.utoronto.ca/sexualdiversity for more information or email sexual.diversity@utoronto.ca
South Asian Studies (MA., Ph.D.)
The interdisciplinary Collaborative Program in South Asian Studies is designed for M.A. and Ph.D. students who wish to acquire a nuanced understanding of this region as a secondary area of specialization while pursuing graduate studies in another discipline. The focus is necessarily broad in that it provides students with an understanding of ancient and modern history, social change, economic development, contemporary politics, religious traditions, literary culture, and a spectrum of related topics. http://munkschool.utoronto.ca/csas/ for more information or email ai.asianstudies@utoronto.ca.
Women & Gender Studies (MA., Ph.D.)
The Graduate Collaborative Program in Women’s Studies (GCWS) provides a formal educational context for the purpose of interdisciplinary research in women’s and gender studies and advanced feminist scholarship. The program, offered at the master’s and doctoral levels, provides a central coordinating structure to facilitate and disseminate women’s studies research through graduate student research symposia, lectures, circulation and discussion of work in progress, conferences, and publications. http://www.wgsi.utoronto.ca/ for more information or email grad.womenstudies@utoronto.ca.
The Collaborative Program in Women’s Health is a new collaborative graduate program at the University of Toronto that is the first of its kind in Canada. Given the breadth of its disciplinary representation it is also likely the first of its kind internationally.
The purpose of the program is to provide graduate students across the University the opportunity to interact and be mentored by more senior researchers engaged in women's health research.
Regardless of the department or faculty to which they belong, all students will be given scholarly opportunities to interrogate their projects in the context of women's health. http://www.dlsph.utoronto.ca/programs/collaborative-specialization-in-womens-health/ for more information or email CSWH.admin@wchospital.ca.
