Proposal for a Gender Studies Minor at Simon Fraser University
•
?
A.
Executive Summary
This is a proposal for a Minor in Gender Studies to be administered by the Department of Women's
Studies in the Faculty of Arts of Simon Fraser University. No other university or college in B.C.
offers a minor in gender studies, although Douglas College offers an Associate of Arts degree in
gender studies and UBC and UNBC have masters programs in women's and gender studies. Students
from Douglas College may request credit toward the minor at Simon Fraser University and graduates
from the minor may go on to do graduate work at UBC or UNBC.
The Minor is designed to offer students opportunities to integrate their understanding of gender
relations in society and culture. Students must complete twenty-four credit hours comprised of nine
credits of lower-division courses and fifteen credits of upper-division courses, with one lower-division
core course, GDST 200, required of all students. For the remaining credits, student can apply credits
from regularly or occasionally listed gender-based courses. Most existing gender studies programs in
Canada and the United States offer an interdisciplinary program combining core courses and pertinent
courses listed in other departments.
The Minor will list twenty regularly scheduled existing courses with gender in the course title, in the
calendar description, or with a significant component of gender content offered in seven departments.
In addition, the program proposal includes a new course proposal, for GDST 200, Thinking About
Gender, which will serve as the core course for the minor. Finally, the Undergraduate Advisor in
Women's Studies will periodically request that departments send course statements of occasionally
offered courses with a significant gender component for semester lists of courses eligible for credit
toward the minor..
The instructors in the existing courses and the departments offering these courses have approved
listing these course for credit toward a Gender Studies Minor, with the caution that many of the
courses have prerequisites. Students will be advised to consult the Undergraduate Advisor in the
department offering the course in advance of registering in these courses.
In general, students' programs will be approved by the Undergraduate Advisor in Women's Studies
and, if need be, by the Chair of undergraduate Studies in Women's studies. Students will be
encouraged to design their Gender Studies minor around their other areas of study, in most cases their
majors.

the credential to be awarded to graduates?
The program will be a Minor in Gender Studies and graduates will be awarded a Minor in Gender
Studies.
4.
In what way does this degree program contribute to the mandate and strategic plan this institution?
A survey of the last two Simon Fraser University Calendars found that Simon Fraser already offers
twenty courses with gender in the title or in the short description, located in seven programs:
Communications, Criminology, Geography, History, Latin American Studies, Sociology and
Anthropology, and Women's Studies. Subsequent inquiries identified other courses that include a
significant component of gender analysis and added two more programs, Humanities and
Contemporary Arts, to the list of programs offering gender-related courses. Students who take one or
two of these courses in a particular department and wish to pursue the study of gender have difficulty
locating all of the available courses. Some students have inquired why Simon Fraser University does
not have a program in gender studies.
Research conducted by Mary Lynn Stewart, Chair of Undergraduate Studies in Women's Studies, and
her research assistant Jody Fourneaux in the autumn of 2000 discovered that at least two other
institutions of higher learning in Canada, New College at the University of Toronto and the University
of Saskatchewan, have major and minor program options in Women's and Gender Studies. The
University of British Columbia, the University of Northern British Columbia, the University of
Saskatchewan, and O.I.S.E. also offer graduate programs in gender studies. The same research project
identified forty-four universities and colleges in the United States with undergraduate majors, minors,
3
and/or concentrations in gender studies. Twenty-eight of these programs are
interdisciplinary; most of them list courses from several departments.
When twenty instructors of courses with gender content at Simon Fraser University
responded to a query about, and half met to discuss, the possibilities of creating a list of
gender-based courses to distribute to interested students or of introducing a program in
gender studies, all preferred an interdisciplinary minor program based on existing courses
in the various departments under the aegis of Women's Studies.
The Women's Studies Department is the appropriate location for the minor. It has
functioned as an interdisciplinary program since its foundation at SFU in
1975.
It is now
a department with five full time faculty, four jointly appointed faculty, an endowed
professorship, and eight associate faculty. Three of the WS faculty and five of the
associate faculty teach gender-based courses. At the undergraduate level, W.S. offers a
major, seven joint majors, a minor, an extended minor, and a certificate. (At the graduate
level, we have offered a M.A. degree since 1985.) The Department of Women's Studies
included pursuing a gender studies minor in the three-year plan for the department
prepared in 2000 and in the internal review prepared for the external review of the
department conducted in the spring of 2002. Billie Korstrom, the Departmental Assistant,
is accustomed to administering minors.
Note that the Department of Women's Studies has no intention of merging with or
transforming itself into a Department of Gender Studies. While some fledgling programs
in Women's Studies took that route in the late 1980s and 1990s, the Department of
Women's Studies at Simon Fraser University is a well-established program with a
dedicated faculty. Instead of any fundamental reorganization of Women's Studies, the
Department simply wishes to offer more options to students and faculty at Simon Fraser
University. We are aware that some students interested in exploring aspects of gender
are hesitant about enrolling in Women's Studies courses and especially in our programs.
These students may be more willing to take the proposed course in Gender Studies as
well as the Gender Studies Minor. Of course, we hope that some of the students who
take Gender Studies courses will decide to take courses in Women's Studies as well.
Gender Studies courses differ from Women's Studies courses in content and often in
theoretical perspectives. Whereas Women's Studies courses focus on the diversity of
women's economic, social, and cultural experiences, with some comparison to men's
experiences, Gender Studies courses concentrate on the constructions of masculinities
and femininities in their ideological and material forms, as well as topics such as
transgendered subjects. For instance, while Women's Studies has offered a course on
mothering, Gender Studies might offer a course on parenting; while Women's Studies
has a course on women and work, Gender Studies might have a course on gender in the
workplace; while Women's Studies includes a course on females sexualities, Gender
Studies might include a course on gender and sexualities. Similarly, Women's Studies
.The survey was conducted in the Library and Registrar's Office at Simon Fraser University and on the
web. Because some of the printed calendars were several years old and not all colleges and universities had
an up-to-date web site, the survey cannot be considered complete.

C. Program Description
1.
What economic/industrial/sociallcultural goals is this program intended to serve?
In
the past twenty years, the emergence and establishment of gender studies has been
notable. Academic journals such as Gender and Develoi,ment, Gender and Education,
and Genders have appeared and flourished. Gender-based research, which usually takes
into account other differences such as race, class, and sexual orientation, has produced
hundreds of interdisciplinary and disciplinary monographs and anthologies. Many of
these serials and books deal with economic issues such as globalization, work, and
wages; others treat socio-political problems such as violence in the family or in wartime
and access to social services and political power; still others examine social policies.
Gender analysis has also revitalized the study of art, literature, and culture. The range of
courses proposed for the minor in gender studies covers most of these topics.
How do these relate to identified market niches or societal needs?
Systematic instruction in gender studies, and especially instruction exploring the
relationships between gender and other differences, will add to the set of skills students
bring into the job market or into graduate work. The public sector, notably social
services, the judiciary, and overseas development programs, has identified the importance
of attention to gender and other kinds of diversity in drafting and implementing effective
policies and procedures; the private sector is beginning to institute gender-sensitive
workplace policies and has long engaged in gender-targeted advertising and marketing.
2.
What are the
anticipated
employment destinations for graduates?
Students in the minor program will likely pursue employment based upon their majors
but will be assisted by their minor. For instance, many students who majored in
Criminology, Sociology and Anthropology, and Women's Studies are employed in the
justice system and social services; a smaller number enter the field of health care.
Students with a minor in gender studies will have an additional claim to employment in
these areas on the basis of their knowledge of gender and other diversity issues. Students
in Communications often find employment in the media or public relations, where
sensitivity to gender differences and diversity will prove attractive to employers.
What potential does this program provide for research and development in job creation?
.
5
A minor in gender studies would help graduates
identify
practices that perpetuate gender
S
and other forms of discrimination in employment and gives them the tools to conduct
research on these practices and to propose policies and other viable alternatives to
existing or future job descriptions.
3.
What are the intended learning outcomes
of
this program? (skills, knowledge,
attitudes or other attributes)
Students with a minor in Gender Studies would learn about gender as a category of
analysis that, whether acknowledged or not, influences most fields of knowledge and
most economic and social interactions. They will also learn analytical skills necessary to
an understanding of the complexity of social constructions such as gender, which at first
appear simple and straightforward, but are actually complex and multil-layered.
4. What is the expected normal time required for program completion
Completion will depend on point of entry into Simon Fraser University. Students
entering from high school will be able to complete the minor concurrent with their major
degree. Students entering from college should be able to complete the program in two
years, depending on how many of their college courses meet the program requirements.
5.
Mat are the courses, or other curriculum requirements
of
the program?
S ?
The Gender Studies program will consist of nine credits of lower-division courses and
fifteen credits of upper-division courses, with only one lower division core course, GDST
200, required of all minors. For the calendar entry, see Appendix A. For details about
GDST 200, see the new course proposal in Appendix B. For the remaining credits
toward the minor, students can apply credits from the following regularly offered
courses:
Lower Division Courses:
Crim 213-3, Introduction to Women and Criminal Justice.
Crim 231-3, Introduction to the Judicial Process
SA 100-4, Perspectives on Canadian Society.

Other courses identified by Gender Studies as having significant gender content may
count toward the requirements. For instance, the program will designate occasionally
offered courses with gender content, such as: Arch 334, Special Topics: The
Archaeology of Gender, and Hum 381, Selected Topics: Domestic Spaces.
Other departments will forward outlines of courses with significant gender content for
designation and listing on the list of courses eligible for the minor. Once the program has
been approved and publicized, other departments may choose to do the same.

All the courses listed above except GDST 200 already exist at the institution. A proposal
for GDST 200, Thinking About Gender, will be found in Appendix B.
6 What are the structure and expected class sizes of courses in this program?
All the courses are structured as lectures and tutorials or as seminars. Two of the
Criminology courses are also offered by Distance Education. Most courses will include
students from other programs. It is unlikely that gender studies students would comprise
the majority in any of these courses. We anticipate minimum enrollments of twenty to
thirty students in GDST 200, Thinking About Gender. When GDST 200 is first offered,
there will likely be more than thirty students, due to the backlog of interested students.
If the demand is sufficient, we would endeavour to increase the enrollment in GDST 200
to 60 or more students.
7. What specialties, majors, or minors will be offered?
Only a minor will be offered. However, students enrolled in a major in departments with
many courses listed in gender studies, such as Criminology or Sociology and
Anthropology, might be able to concentrate, at the upper level, in their chosen subject.
8. What programs exist at other B. C. institutions which contain similar content or have
similar objectives, and,
if
similar, what is the rationale for duplication?
Douglas College offers an undergraduate program in women's studies and gender
relations. The University of British Columbia and the University of Northern British
Columbia have Masters programs in (women's and) gender studies.
The program at Douglas College only leads to an Associate of Arts degree. Graduates of
Douglas College who enter the program at SFIJ will no doubt submit their courses in
gender studies for transfer credit. The UBC and UNBC programs are at the master's
level. Graduates of the SFU program may choose to go to UBC or UNBC for graduate
work.
9.How does this program relate to other programs offered at this institution?
The program will draw upon the expertise of faculty members offering courses in gender
studies in Communications, Contemporary Arts, Criminology, Geography, History,
Humanities, Latin American Studies, Sociology and Anthropology, and Women's
Studies. Students enrolled in the program will no doubt improve the quality of student
participation in all gender-based courses, because every student in the program will have
to complete the core course entitled "Thinking About Gender," before taking most upper-
level courses. A new course proposal for GDST 200, "Thinking About Gender," to be
taught by a new appointee in Women's Studies, Helen Leung, accompanies this proposal.
In two years time, Women's Studies may add an upper-division core course on gender.
Two years would allow us to assess student interest and progress through the program
and Dr. Leung to redesign an upper division course on gender which she will introduce as
a special topics course next year after she has had experience with students enrolled in
Gender Studies. With one or two core course, departments can maintain their
prerequisites, ensuring appropriate preparation for specialized courses.
10. What,
if
any, other programs will be reduced or eliminated in order to initiate the
new program?
None.
11.What,
if
any, are the research expectations or implications
of
this program?
There are no specific research expectations or implications of this program, beyond the
normal expectation that individual faculty members will conduct research in the field.
Faculty involved in the advisory committee for Gender Studies may discover similar
interests and develop common research projects, however.
D. Admission and Transfer
?
.
1.What
are the admission requirement for direct entry students and transfer students?
The program will admit existing students or those who fulfill the normal university
requirements. There are no additional requirements for admission.
2.
What institutional regulations apply to this program?
None in addition to existing institutional regulations.
3.
Who are the intended students?
Initially, the program should draw students already at the University who are interested in
gender. Ultimately, the program might draw students, such as those taking gender
courses at the colleges, to the University.
What is the evidence that these students are not presently served reasonably within
existing B.C. offerings?
Students taking gender courses have expressed a desire for a more systematic program.
No B.C. University presently offers an undergraduate minor in gender studies.
4.
What initiative, if any, address low participation groups (e.g. aboriginal students)?
?
is
Most of the courses in the program examine how gender interacts with other social
divisions, including ethnicity, disabilities, age and sexual orientation. Several of the
courses listed for the minor are of interest to low-participation groups. Four examples
are:
SA 286, Aboriginal Peoples and British Columbia: Introduction.
SA
435,
Gender, Colonialism and Post-Colonialism.
SA 486, Aboriginal People and British Columbia.
WS 314, Race, Class and Gender Relations.
5.
What enrolments are anticipated?
Initially, the program should draw between fifteen and twenty students. As information
about the program spreads, the number enrolled should increase.
How many of these are expected to represent a new client group?
is
4
It is unlikely that many students will be attracted to any university solely on the basis of a
minor program. However, the availability of the minor, together with cognate majors
such as Women's Studies, Criminology, and Sociology and Anthropology, should attract
students.
6.
What articulation arrangements with other programs and institutions exist or are
planned?
The Women's Studies Articulation Committee approved the Letter of Intent (see
Appendix E) and courses would be submitted to the same articulation committee, as
needed.
7.
What provision is made to enable students to receive credit for relevant learning
previously achieved outside the B. C. public
post-secondary
system?
Students could apply to the Undergraduate Studies Chair in Women's Studies for credit
for relevant courses done outside the B.C. public post-secondary system. The
Undergraduate Studies Chair would consult with faculty in the program about requests
for credit for courses in their areas of expertise.
E. Learning Methodologies
1.
What learning environment and methodologies will be developed so as to achieve the
intended outcome of the program?
The program will be based on the existing lecture/tutorial or seminar approach. The new
course will have the added element of film. This course will also endeavour to foster a
supportive learning environment through the development of a cohort identity among
students.
2.
What use will be made of
experimental learning, distance education, independent
study?
Two of the Criminology courses are taught by distance education. A distance education
version of GDST 200 is a future possibility. Otherwise, there are no specific plans for
experimental learning, distance education or independent study.
F. Faculty
1.How many faculty and other staff are required, and with what qualifications?
Existing faculty will teach courses from eight or..more departments. (See Appendix .D.)
The Departmental Assistant (who is also the Undergraduate Studies Advisor) and
Undergraduate Studies Chair in Women's Studies will do the day-to-day administration
of the program. They will consult the advisory committee of faculty teaching in the
minor for important decisions.
10
'V
Which will be new to the institution?
?
.
No new positions will be created.
2. Will there be any differentiation offaculty roles?
There will be no differentiation of faculty roles.
G. Program Resources
1. What resources will be required to assure a program
of acceptable quality?
The program will draw on existing faculty, library, and facilities. As the course outlines
and faculty cvs in Appendices C and D indicate, there are more than fifteen faculty
members who already teach courses with gender in the course title or with a significant
component of gender content on a regular basis. In Women's Studies alone, two faculty
members (Dr Leung and Dr Zaman) will regularly teach courses with gender in the
course title.
SFU's Libraries currently hold nine of the leading English-language journals in gender
studies; UBC libraries list eleven such serials, including four not in the SFU Library. In
addition, SFU added 708 books with gender in the title or catalog descriptors in 2000 and
the first two months of 2001, as well as 114 books with sex role (the term preferred in
Psychology) in the title or catalog description in 2000 alone.
For more details, see the Library approval for GDST 200.
If, as expected, the existence of a program encourages new course development,
especially with the renewal of the faculty anticipated in the next ten years, the program
may require new library resources. We understand that the SFU Library is setting aside
funds for new course development based on the large number of new faculty expected to
be added to the faculty complement in the next decade.
E. Program Consultation and Evaluation
1.
What consultations have occurred with professional associations, employers,
educational institutions?
The Letter of Intent for
a Gender Studies Minor has been reviewed and approved by the
Ministry of Advanced Education and by the Women Studies Articulation Meeting of 11
May 2001. All the departments and all the faculty members offering courses with gender
in the course title or description have been consulted. All the faculty and departments
with courses on the list of courses approved for the Gender Studies Minor have indicated
their support for the listing. (See Appendix E.)

2.
What suggestions would your institution make to assist the DPRC in evaluating this
proposal?
The program could be evaluated by comparing it with programs at other Canadian
Universities that offer Women's Studies and Gender Studies, or could be evaluated by
directors or chairs of these programs. Programs with major and minor program options
in Women's and Gender Studies in Canada are:

3.
After the program is implemented, what procedures are planned for ensuring adequate
depth and breadth of ongoing review and evaluation?
The Department of Women's Studies will review the program after each of its first three
years.
4.
What provision is made for ongoing membership on advisory committees to this
program, or what other means are provided for maintaining extra-institutional
perspectives?
There will an advisory committee composed of the Undergraduate Chair of Women's
Studies, faculty members in Women's Studies teaching gender courses, and any other
faculty teaching in the program. Anyone teaching in the program will be a member of
the advisory committee for the semester they teach in the program and the following
semester. These faculty members will be drawn from at least eight departments.
0
In addition, the Undergraduate Chair of Women's Studies, or her delegate, will attend
Women's Studies articulation committee annual meetings, where they will report on any
changes in the program and request transfer credit for relevant courses.
