PGDip in Gender and Social Justice (GDip)

The Graduate Diploma in Gender and Social Justice is offered to students already enrolled in a doctoral program at McMaster University, allowing them to combine disciplinary research with interdisciplinary scholarship from gender and feminist studies. It sits within McMaster's Gender and Social Justice Program, a learning community for the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, and age through feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and queer social-justice lenses, with an emphasis on community-engaged research and praxis. The diploma aims to enhance the intellectual development and training of doctoral students by combining their disciplinary research with this interdisciplinary scholarship, and applications follow a May 15 deadline. Full-time and part-time options are available, consistent with the student's primary doctoral program at the university.
