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. This specialized credentialing in a growing field is vital to human services careers, and will be established along a pathway that has proven successful at other institutions.
