Women’s Studies Women's studies is both a complement and a corrective to established fields at York and a new academic discipline of its own. Until recently, both the humanities and the social sciences reflected predominantly male perspectives. Women have been largely invisible in literature, art, history, philosophy, politics, social sciences and law. Through cross-cultural and disciplinary assessment, women's studies exposes misconceptions about women expressed through myth, ideologies, teachings and writings. It replaces negative cultural images of women with visions that reaffirm women's strength, capability and intelligence. The School of Women’s Studies unites academic resources at York University in women’s studies, bringing together the undergraduate and graduate programs, the non-credit Bridging program and the Centre for Feminist Research/Le centre de recherches féministes à York. A feature which distinguishes the Glendon Women’s Studies program from the other two undergraduate programs offered at York is its bilingual focus. Non-parallel courses are offered in both languages. As a result, a genuine dialogue develops between the approaches of anglophones and francophones to theory, philosophy, literature, legal structures and language.
