Arnait Video Productions (AVP) was founded in Igloolik in 1991, and incorporated around 1999. Originally named Arnait Ikajurtigiit, meaning "Women helping each other" in Inuktitut, and it was also known as the Women’s Video Workshop of Igloolik. The collective has had a loose collaborative model with members taking on various roles over the years. Members over the years have included Madeline Ivalu, Susan Avingaq, Martha Makkar, Mathilda Hanniliaq, Uyarak (Lucy Tulugarjuk) and Marie-Hélène Cousineau. Other women who have been involved in various ways include Mary Kunuk, Atuat Akittirq, Carol Kunnuk, and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril.

Arnait Video Productions' first works revealed the importance for the women of Igloolik to share oral traditions. Whether in the form of a series of interviews (Women/Health/Body and Itivimiut) or as short works linking songs to words and reenactment of traditional activities (Qulliq, Attagutaaluk Starvation, Piujuq and Angutautaq), the videos celebrated the specificity of the culture of women in Igloolik. Their production values reflect the cultural values of the participants: respect for community events, for Elders, for hunting and fishing seasons, for certain traditions belonging to particular families, among others. The members work as a team to write the scenes of each script, to make the costumes and accessories, and to shape the interaction and performances of the actors.

Arnait Video Productions has produced feature documentaries such as Anaana (Mother), Unakuluk (Dear Little One), and the short fiction film Ningiura (Grandmother). Before Tomorrow, based on Danish author Jorn Riel’s novel, was their first feature-length fiction film in 2008, winning the Best Canadian First Feature at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2008 and was selected for the International Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. Their feature documentary, SOL, won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Documentary in 2016.

The Graduate Gavel was founded in February 1963 as a monthly publication by the Graduate Student Society in order to serve as a medium of communication between Queen’s University's different graduate programs. The newsletter consisted of news articles covering events pertaining to the Graduate Student Society and opinion pieces on aspects of university life such as education, athletics, politics and the arts. The publication regularly had literary features, profiles of graduate students, activities announcement, hockey and other athletic reports. Despite attempts to reach a wide audience within campus, by June 1964 there was significant budget issues with the publication taking 60% of the Graduate Student Society income. The newsletter was reformatted from plain separate pages to increased amount of articles in columns per pages and increased advertisement. Along with this reformatting, there was attempt to capture a wider audience with more controversial issues particularly focusing on international events like the Vietnam war and failures of health insurance for graduate students. But despite these attempts by September 6 1969, there was increased budget demands with the renovations of the Graduate House on campus which meant cutting back on other projects of the society, including The Gavel.

Due to lack of public interest, the newspaper attempt lasted only two issues after the bitter resignation of the editor on July 14 1970.

The Department of Women's Studies grew out of the Institute of Women's Studies, which was established in 1994. Its primary aims were to make the diversity of women's experiences, ideas and values in all areas of human inquiry and to create structures, theories, and methodologies that make such visibility possible. The specifc approach in the program was: to help rectify the omission of women from the traditional curriculum; to approach the contributions and conditions of women from a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary perspective which is exciting in a world of specialization; to encourage students to look critically at androcentric scholarship and its assumptions about institutions, ideologies, human nature, sexuality, and language; and to emphasize the necessity of women's self-perception and self-definition.
