In September 1987, Carleton established the Institute of Women's Studies, which was renamed the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies in September 1993, to honour the distinguished scholar and social activist Pauline Jewett (1922-1992), Chancellor of Carleton University from 1990 to 1992.
The Pauline Jewett Institute continues to expand on the work of its predecessor, the Interfaculty Committee on Women's Studies, established in 1975. The Institute fosters research and study from a feminist perspective and seeks to promote an awareness on the part of all disciplines of the need to include a fuller treatment of women's experience. Joining in this venture is the Joint Chair in Women's Studies, held jointly at Carleton and the University of Ottawa, and housed at Carleton in the Pauline Jewett Institute.
Carleton was one of the first universities in Canada to offer courses on women, beginning with a course on women's history offered first in 1971-72. Since then, courses and programs have developed in several academic units throughout the university. The Institute of Women's Studies currently offers a B.S. program in Women's Studies, and a Combined B.A. (Honours) program in Women's Studies and another arts or social science discipline. The Combined Honours program requires a deeper study of the methodological and theoretical implications of Women's Studies. The B.A. program is intended to give students a general overview of the field of Women's Studies. Students pursuing a B.A. in Women's Studies must complete a Minor in another academic unit or discipline. Both programs offer interdisciplinary perspectives while also requiring students to develop a disciplinary base for their studies.
Students enrolled in a B.A. or B.A. (Honours) program in another discipline may also elect to complete a Minor in Women's Studies.
In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p. 48), all Faculty regulations including those relating to First-Year Seminars and Breadth requirements (see p. 63), in addition to all Institute regulations and requirements as set out below.
