GSWS 101 -3 Gender Talk (Online)
Summer 2025
Courses
Should sex work be legalized? Is pornography sexist? How is gender and sexuality portrayed in popular culture? If you are interested in the ways we live as gendered beings in Canadian society, then GSWS 101 will be of interest to you. This introductory survey course examines the historical and cultural meanings of gender and sexuality, examines how ideas about gender shape institutions, popular culture, and social policies, studies the intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality, and debates the history and future of feminist activism.

ST: The Sexual and Gendered Relations of Property
Mondays & Wednesdays 10:30 – 12:20 AJ Withers
Property impacts every aspect of our lives and how we live them. Myriad social practices and relations inform its design and distribution. Sexual and gender politics are ever present in relation to property yet often rendered invisible. Beginning from the imposition of pri vate property as central to the Canadian process of colonization, this course examines major themes in relation to the ownership of people, animals, land and things within the Canadian settler state.

The loud moments of the performance were loud, but the quiet moments were even louder.

On March 7, the softball team picked up from where they left off the day before, hosting another two games against Nazarene.
