Since that time, the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies has conducted an annual competition offering the opportunity to a feminist researcher having completed her or his Ph.D. to pursue his or her studies in an interdisciplinary, multicultural and bilingual environment, while sharing the research results with the university community.

The Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies is pleased to announce that  Dr. Guadalupe Yapud  has been selected as the 2022-2023 Bank of Montreal Visiting Scholar in Women’s Studies.
