race, gender and development, gender and the environment, and gender,
representation and cultural studies. In addition, the University of
Saskatchewan offers a variety of opportunities for interdisciplinary
collaborations across the College and the University, including:
collaboration with the fifty scholars actively engaged in gendered
research across the disciplines; with faculty in the International
Studies Program; and with faculty engaged in international
study/research abroad initiatives.
