Dear Aska,
I am a really confused person and I’m having trouble picking my subject POSt. I know that I want to major in Women and Gender Studies for sure, but want to also major in Aboriginal Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies and Sexual Diversity Studies. I know that I could also do a double minor but I feel that I won’t get the same depth of knowledge if I just minor in one or the other. Please tell me what to do :/
Sincerely,
Confused Idiot 🙁

Confused Idiot,
Oh Subject POSts. The bane of every first year’s existence at this time of the year.
Anyhow, I recommend you do a double major in Women and Gender Studies and Aboriginal Studies and then do a minor in Diaspora and Transnational Studies. If you look at DTS’ requirements, you can fulfill a few of the needed courses with some of your WGS ones like WGS369H Studies in Post-Colonialism, WGS375H Colonialism, Sexuality, Spirituality and the Law, or WGS380H Aboriginal, Black and Immigrant Women in the Land of Dollars.
Really, most courses allowed for DTS overlap with those of other programs, so I think you can get by with making that one your minor and still get a wide depth of knowledge. 😉
Cheers!
